It Doesn't Give Me Hope
/I once heard someone sigh in frustration after a long day-- "it doesn't give me hope." I happen to have my writing journal with me and jotted down the line for possible inspiration. Within an hour, our current political quagmire gave me the rest.

There is so much
That doesn’t give me hope
There is much more, it seems,
Than before
Not expecting perfection
But give me a break
A break from the weight of
Forgetting the truth
Or worse
Ignoring it
Blissfully making it up as we go
To satisfy whatever it is we are
Satisfying at the moment
And though there are a few
Cries in the wilderness
“Enough”
It doesn’t give me hope
