I’m tired. 

Aren’t you tired? 

Tired of the shit show in politics that we’ve been watching for god knows how long?

Aren’t you tired?

Tired of everything being a fight, a contest, an exercise in us vs. them?

Aren’t you tired?

Tired of Black people being killed?  And women being raped? And refugees being put in camps?  And innocent folks being locked up and killed by the justice system?

Aren’t you tired?

Tired of being used as a pawn in someone else’s quest for power and control?

Aren’t you tired?

Tired of being told who your enemy is, when in fact, you need not even have one?

Aren’t you tired?

Tired of worrying about whether or not you will have security in your retirement or healthcare tomorrow?  Tired of wondering if our financial system is about to collapse?

Aren’t you tired?

Tired of working, and working and working while the rich get richer and the poor get poorer?

Aren’t you just tired?

I am.
