news travels faster than ever
the accessibility of evil at our fingertips
through social media, print, radio
all grinds the blackness into us
fair and balanced reporting
what a joke
where’s the tons of good stuff
it happens daily too, probably more
i’m tired of being tainted grey
dulled from the nastiness of life
disenchanted with the news
exhausted from being set on fire cerebrally
people wonder why i’m a hermit
preferring my four walls
leaving society and culture to its own
in my world i prefer to cull balance
Beautiful work Susi!

It’s exactly what prompted me to write this piece. There’s no joy in the shit that is spewed.

You are right about this! Insanity is listening to all the craziness on the box and social media. We used to live in a much more sane society.

The popularity of horror and conflict-depicting shows often make me wonder about the viewers rather than producers.

Nothing at all wrong with culling balance. With balance and harmony come a wee bit more sanity. And peace. Which we could all use.
