Here's my Poem pick for Thursday:
Author's notes: I wrote this wanting the world to slow down — we keep doing our own things, doom-scrolling, no longer entertained, dulled, lost in the noise.
Title: If we could stop...
---------
Just give me a second...
Tired of these connections always breaking
Ridiculously running scared and ignoring
Each suspect fleeing, never seeing
Bunch of busy bees just revolting
So tired of problems...
Waking fear of media reporting
Another senseless law, another shooting
More control just isn't working
Can't fix selfishness from growing
Look into the mirror...
Am I awake? or am I still dreaming?
Instructed by these others into believing
Deep meaning, no words are revealing
Each day could be a new beginning
If we could stop....
