many people I come across complain about
- wars
- hatred
- poverty
- phobias
- violence
- inflation
- misogyny
- inequality
- intolerance
- anti–LGBTIQ
- communalism
- …
then they all ask:
will things change:
I have to say “yes, thing will change”
because that’s what they want to hear
but then I can’t delude them
I clarify:
“the way events are happening in the Trumpverse
“things will change for the worse”
their hopes are dashed
but at least they know the reality
how each will cope, I don’t know
