Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

My Internal Combustion

There is internal combustion
Waiting in my heart
To trigger and blow me to smithereens

It pulsates when people get mean with each other
Lashing out, screaming unkind things,
Threatening and intimidating others.

I can no longer watch the news
Because of the horribleness of it
Because it hurts me
Blowing my heart to smithereens

M. L. Kiser June 27, 2020 at 1:26 PM These days, I occasionally check in on the news but, avoid it most days. There comes a point when news is just not news; it's a nightmare. Caren Krutsinger June 28, 2020 at 6:26 AM I try to NEVER watch the news; and I mean NEVER.
