'Your pre-set parameters
have been exceeded.
Go back to square one,
make the necessary adjustments.'

As if that were truly an option.

Each day I find myself
exceeding my previous limits
of viewing inhumanity;
cruelty to other living entities,
careless disregard
of our mutual Mother Earth
and all her children.

Today once again,
I was forced to re-set
my parameters.
Some days I wonder
if the adjustment knobs
aren't already tweeked
beyond control.

This constant tweeking
gives me migraines and
I can't seem to find
any suitable Rx.

Just blinders and ear plugs....
all that works....

I feel for you, knowing how concerned you are for mother earth and humanity.
I simply rarely watch the news any longer....

This is a great expression of thoughts we could all consider, especially if we value our grandchildren's life quality. Well said!! KJ

Rx is just pharmacist shorthand for prescription.
Thanks for reading and commenting, Pat, sweetwater, KJ.

Kacy,
i like the way how you now base your poems on an image and write the whole poem around it...kind of like an extended image...

sigh to your sentiments...it's worrying to think of how much the human spirit has to withstand, yup?

Midnitesun,
