Always A Bummer
Miracle Man
5/11/2023
I awoke this morning and turned on the news,
and from opinionated people I see interviews.
More news of carjackings and shootings I see,
nothing reported brings me feelings of glee.
From the southern border I see masses that await,
politicians disagree on a budget and won’t debate.
We’re looked upon by many as a giant ATM,
the country is divided, it’s now “us and them.”
All I really wanted was an update on the weather,
or hear something positive, like pulling together.
Much of this was taking place while I was sleeping,
and I can’t help but believe it leaves Jesus weeping.
Negative news, often unknowingly,
affects an attitude for that day.
