DIRECTIONS HAVE GONE BATTY , ENOUGH TO CONFUSE Brian Rohr
The screen was abusive today , bright lights forming words , ideas a barrage of pain . Hate , bigotry . Blood .
Even escaping to some benign place felt off . Too much hurt to ignore . Viciousness painting the walls of the world .
I say I am a peacemaker , But in my heart , what I long for is peace . The distinction is in the longing , weary bones .
Trees say root down . Yet roots entwine with others — they could be sharing nutrients , even the mycelium would help .
But no , it looks like poison . Fine roots drink any source water they find , glyphosate spiked and all . Remember when we would protest Round-Up ? Now I see hate condoned , disguised as justice .
What is a peace-wonderer to do ?
