The headline read,
“This Is Worse Than You Can Imagine!!!!”
A headline for the unobservant and
Under engaged
A headline for privileged amateurs
Or the willfully ignorant.
Because
We have seen the worst
And what we haven’t seen we can easily imagine.
We have seen the thugs and the bullies
We have seen the disease and the deaths
We have seen the unashamed racism.
We’ve heard the insults and misogyny,
The kneejerk Islamophobia and
The ancient antisemitism.
We suffer the shitty art and the golden vulgarity and
The disfigured faces.
But yes, it can get worse.
Blessed Holy Wholeness
We pray for the strength to endure the worsening worst
So that we may survive to build and rebuild the best.
Amen
