Well meaning friend
sends me a poem
about earning a tomorrow;
as if a celestial being
judges the good I have done today.
I can't help wondering
if this is the same being
that tells evangelists to hate trans kids
and ultra-rich reality show personalities
to run for Governor
since her friend has to pack up his aircraft hanger
because of all the homeless people
he's tired of looking at.
I don't think I do any hating of people
just live my life quietly
and try to bring a smile
with tales from my dog.
Do I deserve another day?
