Am I a symptom or am I the disease?

Our world is so fractured.

Social media communicates and obfuscates.

I am in a hall of mirrors

And everything I see is ugly.

Am I a symptom or am I the disease?

We see a leader with no convictions.

We see brutalization of peaceful protesters.

Some or most of us are appalled.

We see our democracy crumbling.

Am I a symptom or am I the disease?

We have become so divided.

But I guess we always were.
Through George Floyd.

I hope we will be united.
