Stewing about
Day 8
About the election
About agitation
From Facebook
About things out of
my control
About contempt for
human beings
The ignorance and
stupidity
I've been
awake
for
2
hours.
I am beside myself with anger,
agitation, frustration.
Everywhere I look is
ignorance, cruelty, self-
interest.
Where is the love?
Where is joy?
