My Opinion, The World Today

Is the day as long as night?

Heavens lay high as sin down under

Away from what’s left

That is the middle of complications and filth

Always not knowing and scrambling like rats

Living in a box that we don’t know how to step out of

Leaving us with debt and financial trouble

Worrying about the suffering of others we don’t know

But not treating our own bodies as healthy as should

Walking in another person’s shoes as they say but we can’t hardly

Stand a sight of ourselves in the mirror without some augmentation

Cursing your neighbor or the traffic light not suggesting anything other

that you have no Emotional intelligence.

Weighing yourself for acknowledgement, determination and discipline did you look good

 putting on the right clothes for the first impression that mere second could turn it sour

Getting ready for that hot date or a conference that may just happen to be that one

That lands you a promotion or a wife forever lasting happiness and children

It fulfills all expectations for self -confidence hoping the ego doesn’t stand out more

You look in your mind as easy as they come yet always holding tight

That dollar you so very much earned

This life is so full of hope yet there is such disaster everywhere

Sickness called Covid-19 has invaded our world.

Many are unemployed and starving being quarantined or confined

Six feet distance is the new norm

Wearing face masks are vital

Even the President found that out.

A little late so sorry but you should have

been practicing what you preached and enforced

Of course, we need to survive and feed our families

Many have to go to local food banks

We promote the trend of face masks making it a fashion trend

And supporting local business is vital for our cities lively hood

Not too many comedians do we hear about now

Yet there are many arguments especially in Congress

Spreading bad behavior and greed        

Making our air waves dirty and full of hate

All lives matter especially during certain times

Always need to pay special attention to feelings

Race, politics, religion and sex have always been subjects we tend to avoid

Facing it and having an opinion on any subject matter can lead

 Riots break out and feelings get hurt

People are sad by others behavior and lack of empathy

Schools are shut down and teachers and teaching our children

By merely much support from the states and government

Corporations are recognizing and helping out

Teaching using all their strength, resources and the internet to provide education.

Many don’t work or lost hours

Bills are piling up and houses get put on the market too soon

Afraid of foreclosure and business having to shut down

Stimulus checks are handed out as to acknowledge

 our deficit and pandemic that spreads from country to country

leaving death and despair contributing to depression

Social humans we are having to live without our daily schedules, people

To see, projects to be completed and gatherings we enjoy

Depression, self- worth, too much energy to confine, bouncing off the walls

Arguments start and we eat to much because we are bored.

Walls are caving in for the people who are extrovert sometimes needing now counseling

Introverts are used to being alone and keeping in feelings

 Bombarded by the other now makes a recipe for household chaos

As stores and diners are slowly opening it’s just a hassle

Wearing masks are essential and appear sadly how it will be forever

Yet we do make an excuse to shop just to get out of the house.

Buy that something that if only makes you happy for a bit

Its justified because it was on sale because of all of this.

Who knows what are children are thinking?

As they look around and watch all of this happen before them

Everything has changed so dramatically that even

 they are having a hard time adapting

McDonalds no longer cells salad

So, what is essential I ask you

Does it compare anything to needs and wants

Government banned Methyl cigarettes just showing ‘

That they are the ones to blame for cigarettes still being sold

Warning us of the health hazards which now looks like

They were just watching population control as we would never think that

Marijuana is now accepted widely now from county to county

Don’t they realize that they are saying its ok for people to get high

If it was to help cancer patients, why don’t doctors hand it out?

Not like they are worried about our lungs

As it already has been shown that they have the power yet can’t decide

Like all those ads and warnings about coffee, soda, cigars, wine, beer and spirits

 It seems like the sale and growing permission they gave

Is because they feel bad about the economy

These are all things I think about and have an opinion about

So, if it offends you, I’m sorry this is what I happen to observe.

Is this anything you have noticed or agree with?

Just ask yourself and go along your day
