Thank you, Jonathan. Some might call this a master class in getting through the day! A very fine poem.

Thanks David. Thanks Graham. I'll be honest, it's an old one. Hoping to write/finish something new soon.
Cheers
JH

Hi Jonathan,

We must all be guilty on some level of the avoidances you describe above. How exhausting it must be to actively care (beyond mere thought) about all the injustice in the world, is it even realistically possible?

The four examples you provide of how we push things away are well chosen, as I think they are quite common among many.

The token effort of offering a "like" to a plea regarding good deeds in need of support is a fine example of delusional simple self absolution.

PS, This is also (to my mind) a well structured poem asking relevant questions of our day.

Fascinating how our lives are a bit like an exam/questionnaire!
Good luck with your next test!
