August 2nd

"For my soul is full of troubles, 
    and my life draws near to Sheol." Psalm 88:3

weariness seems to be 
my constant companion these days.
social media seems to be
more like anti-social mudslinging
with folks posting kind memes
about how we cannot know
what another person is enduring
and then, a few scrolls down, 
someone is being shredded because
they said something 
these very same so-called carers
didn't like or took offense at
or just didn't fit into their philosophy
and i find myself clinging to the sides
of that pit that is made more and more
slippery by the flash flood of snark
running down my page.
