There Are Days

Tonality of images, they range from black to gray I have tried to be a brave one in a world of fear my hair is getting longer and my patience short yes there are days, ... I could easily abort; The news, my emissary of messages and loss I am slowly retrieving, like a wounded albatross the dentistry is waiting, the meg cafe is closed yes there are days,... I feel like just a slice Inflections of disease, wounded by the mass a residence of hell, like Jesus on the cross My heart is but a whisper in a world of scream yes there are days,... everyone seems mean.

Aye, tempers are short as lockdown drags on, not because people are man, but just plain selfish. 43% of Americans today believe what they want is more important than the life of any loved one, which is why we have 110,000 pandemic deaths and Viet Nam has zero, why our unemployment rate exceeds 20% whereas the other nations are less than 5%. Americans are certainly "Special"! Aloha! Rico

I agree with you Rico, most people are self serving, but during this crises, we cannot afford to be. I pray everyone realizes the importance of human life, and do their part, Thank you for reading Rico.

Strong emotions penned, Pixie! I think we can all relate to some degree. I actually cut my own hair last month and forget about the dentist! Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest. Hugs, Rhondao

Very timely piece, especially like 'my hair is getting longer, and my patience short' - I feel like that too! I just keep thinking better days are coming soon-
