The News Today

23/07/2020 –  Poem a Day Compilation



I couldn’t face the news today.

I couldn’t stand another moment.



Too many lies spewing from mouthpieces.

Too many warriors left ignored.



I didn’t want to see the pictures.

I didn’t want to read the heartache.



There is far too little joy to be had.

There is far too much misery shown.



My heart breaks at every story.

My heart bleeds for the injustice.



No more tears shall stain my cheeks.

No more clenched fists every night.



We cannot continue this way.

We cannot remain part of the problem.



Tonight, I will hug my child tight.

Tonight, I will read in my bed.



When my mind is at ease I may return.

When my heart is healed, I will be whole.
