Problem of Privilege

I ordered a steak It came back too rare I looked in the mirror I'm losing my hair A traffic nut passed me on the right Honked my horn with all my might Watch the news or whatever is there Tell you the truth, I just sit and stare My business is worried, facing a loss Lots of financial risk being the boss Fearing for the workers, how they'll fare Everything I have, it's tough not to care

Oh my. This not what I expected to read and I am so glad!! This is written by someone who appreciates what they have and takes responsibility seriously. A heartfelt write. Touched mine.

How can you not care? A vent is okay!

Thanks, you got the point of it. We hope for more compassion but it's not always there. Appreciate the read and the comment.
