If a politician asks for money

put it back in your pocket

if they get elected

they will reach in and grab it

for you

If a celebrity writes an article

giving advice

on how to live your life

wait another year, and

they will write

another article

to proclaim

they've made it out

of the complete mess

their life has been the past year

If a news anchor tells you

the world is on fire

take it with a grain of salt

they will lie to you again

tomorrow night

If Social Media keeps asking

you to hate your neighbor

put the phone or tablet down

turn the computer screen off

take a walk outside, if you’re

not already there

inhale a deep breath

of fresh air

then exhale slowly

and remember

silly cat videos are better

than hate

If the voices in your head

keep telling you

all the wrong things

on all the wrong days

stop listening, for awhile

when you start again

they will have brand new

things to say
