Inspired by Reena’s Xploration Challenge #296 & Moonwashed Weekly Prompt – Ignited
today’s concerns have ignited my blood
and the SMDH syndrome and eye-rolling
are on overtime
where fiction in the time of fake news
adds yet another layer to conspiracy theories
the level of ignorance is appalling
will we ever course correct?

good poem Susi! It gives us a lot to think about! :-)

You are more optimistic than I am, Indira! While I usually hold out hope for turnarounds, this situation is getting more dramatic, and much quicker too. We’ll see!
