The World and Personal Stuff
The world keeps blowing up
Every month there’s something going on
that boggles your mind.
Disappoints, hurts,
Gets your emotions running high.
At this point,
many people, including me,
feel numb.
Crazy and scary is becoming the norm,
Death and destruction are becoming the norm.
My personal tribulations,
in contrast to the world issues,
seem
small
selfish
trivial.
My personal life seems
irrelevant
in the scheme of things.
Nothing that happens to me
is insurmountable.
Nothing I do
effects the course of the world.
My personal stuff
won’t even be a footnote
In history.
