These Days....

I feel as if our days of present are just flat out giving us the finger

they seem to be somewhere between the Twilight Zone

or perhaps an episode of Jerry Springer

Society's norms and its levels of unreal have reached a deeper realm of the unknown

We know wrong and bad have always been

but there is such a decline among us

good is still represented, but lately it has been taking it on the chin

the slightest glance or word can send someone into a violent fuss

I don't like to watch the news

people behaving badly

if one of us is a victim of evil we all lose

it truly takes a piece of our peace sadly

We are all connected and together we need to stand

as one we can shake our heads, but in numbers we can bring change

we need to sweep the hate, the violence, and the wrongs that rage across our land

coming together should be natural, not extraordinary or strange.

As Rod Serling would say in only the way he could

"Imagine if you will...."

A world where we chose love not hate and lived as we should

Where we could take a moment to breathe in peace and just be still.
