That Covid is no more than the flu
that Climate change is a not real
that political speak is baffle
But my body, wracked with pain
knows too much about the nuances
of viral infections…this is no cold
And I’m too old to deny
that pollution has long threatened
our ecosystems and that reckless
disregard for our Earth home
has consequences
And that discernment
seems to have gone astray
in this Social Media whirl
We need to dig deeper
if we want sustainable change
I wish I could believe
that democracy is a given-
forget the wars and sacrifices
it took to get us here-
look away while it slips….
I wish I could have faith
that God had a hand in all this
but I can’t shake the feeling
that ignorance is bliss
and I know too much
