Decline

Living is Easy with Eyes Closed. ~ John Lennon

Going about the day

Current headlines an assault

To the senses and one’s sensibilities

 

Wishing it was like ignoring

Telemarketer’s calls

By pressing decline

I agree about what's going on in the world which disrupts our whole being...it confuses us and makes us fearful...your words are clear and show us how difficult it is to be in this position....some of us are affected by uncertainty, fear, confusion. ...can we suppress this wrongdoing??? or are we subject to to one or two persons whims....Thank you for sharing!
Warmly, B

Such clever handling of ‘the monsters at the door’ who keep banging and railing at our collective consciousness daily. Your deft, honest words resound with me so much dear Mary.. We are in the midst of a nightmare. Sometimes “pressing decline” is survival…. Thank you for this truth my friend.

should we face reality? hide from it? try to change things? what is one to do faced with the tragedies of life? questions prompted by this poem.
