it’s broke, so broke
I wake and feel
each day’s harsh edge
broke like torn tin
sharp and hungry
unforgiving
why so angry?
so harsh, so cruel
as if people
weren’t people
as if kindness
had no value
we want we want
it’s all we know
we take we take
it’s all we do
our circles shrink
collapse, darken
into a void
I don’t believe
in souls or gods
though I did once
a long time past
but then people
showed me their truth
and it seemed best
to believe them
Kurt R.A. Giambastiani 
Fortunately, there’s still hope for those who care to try…
I’m encouraged when I witness a young generation showing interest and appreciation for the “old ways” of approaching things and situations. An integrity that’s been long missing in our society at large come back to life…
I believe that there is still good within many of us and that gives me hope…💙☯️

I’m to the point where while I agree with you on the level of individuals—and there are many individuals who are dedicated to building a better society—when looking at humanity in the aggregate, like at the level of nations, I begin to despair of our ever making any lasting good or difference.
