remember to respect

my eyes are tired as i work hours

at a setting on my play

while the summer heat

builds the allergy count

just outside my window

but i am not wielding a pickax

or tarring a road under the hot sun

so, i have little to complain of

when so many as worthy as i

are working in greater pain

no thank you

i can never figure out how to say with little cartoon critter emojis that i am sad for the extended sickness within our leaders, and us, that i am also ANGRY that we seem willing to take that abuse as though we deserved it - WE DO NOT deserve to be abused. No one does.
