I’m so tired of this mad, mad, mad, mad world.
Let’s start with toning down the rhetoric.
Researching the facts before sounding an alert.
Taking a breath before jumping in head first.
Pausing instead of pouncing.
Something has to give.
Let’s consider the principles
of our Constitution
outside the framework of religious biases.
Within the notion of our
shared humanity.
Lifting up instead of tearing down.
Something has to give.
Let’s close our minds to the chaos.
Looking beyond the distractions.
Focusing on what is reality and what is marketing.
Resisting the hate instead of losing our minds.
Something has to give.
Let’s look for the truth.
Stand in the light instead of the shadows.
Build bridges where others build walls.
Choose courage over compliance,
and hope over despair.
