IRONY

In a turbulent world we see it all 

Five hundred million spent on a campaign

Death at the U.S. Embassy in Tunisia 

Over three hundred murders so far in2020 in Tijuana, Mexico 

Searches for the lowest vacation rates. 

I think of the advertisements for Barbados

This in the midst of the Corona Virus scare

New announcers speaking of sanctuary cities,

Almost endorsing them

Criminals caught, tried and released only to return to their criminal life

Jamaica is selling pleasure vacations.  Life goes on

It is what they do for a living, for jobs and an income 

They present peaceful living which is good 

I think of the millions of refugees worldwide, starving and thirsty;

Separated by default from infants and young children

Starving to death at the rate of 18 per day

I ache at the sight of churches being destroyed by bombs or fire

Religious beings being slaughtered while

Vacationers enjoy food, drink and evening fires around a cozy pit 

The images of having fun are enticing and at the same time

Topics of sex traffic, drug traffic and illegal aliens are upsetting 

We hear of the luxury vacations, then threats to Supreme Court Justices 

We get excited about fun on the sunny islands

Then upset about online sex predators 

We hear crimes are increasing; misery in the country of Venezuela

Tornados hitting central Tennessee 

Cruise ships are being quarantined

Life goes on and people plan

They have earned their respite and we do not blame them

We worry about not having the ingredients for essential drugs

And other items of necessity and then listen to

Political fighting, accusations and lying

The irony of it all
