Heaven Listens


Shaken by the political climate,
sour troubled thoughts stirred by
alternative facts lacking proof
served with a chaser of bravado,
we seek the elixir of truth
and a twist of kindness.
Heaven listens.

    I love these lines:

    "alternative facts lacking proof

    And yes, I believe the heavens listen. Let's open up a cask of kindness and leave the madness behind.

    I always believed that we would look at evidence... but proof seems to have changed to beliefs

    Nice description of the task Heaven has during these times. In particular I liked the phrase "chaser of bravado".
