At what point do we break down and confess
that we can no longer bear to watch the news;
Don't want to hear the latest thing,
don't want to know what someone said
or how upset another is
to learn the latest dis-information.
True or false? these days they're both alike:
what’s true to you may well be lies,
and so might what I'm told and i believe,
and so i hibernate; sit in my chair,
play on my phone, and watch my Roomba
spinning pointlessly across the floor.
we're giving what we can,
spending where we hope it helps,
and wondering what difference
any of it makes in times like these
while penning daily words of hope
to help other lost souls keep on believing...
