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

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.

I try to NEVER watch the news; and I mean NEVER.
