Hearts That Bleed. Who Are You?

by Jon Katz
Hearts That Bleed

Who are you?

Does your heart bleed?

Are you angry at the right?

At the left?

At the way they screw us?

Is your life an argument, and are you mad,

at gas prices that go up.

and food prices that go up.

And this economy.

And in this market.

And the one percent,

and how they screw us?

And the angry men and women in Washington.

And the banks and our piddling bank accounts.

And what they do to us?

And the cost of our health,

And how the world is falling apart, and

the waters are rising, and our

resources dwindle, and the Greeks will pull us down,

and Armaggedon is the big story of the day,

in all of the news. Get ready to be angry and afraid.

And good luck to you.

Is that who you are? Is that who I am?

No, no, a thousand times not. Thank you so much.

I appreciate the offer.

I see that almost everyone has accepted it. It is, like drugs,

quite addictive. And what do you say to everyone in the world?

But no thank you. Really. No hard feelings, I hope.

Not me.

There is no them. There is only me.

And that is not who I am. Or will be.
