On this Sunday, I am linking to the Friday Writings, which has an optional and interesting prompt, but you can link up pretty much whatever you want. My décima poem is for Ronovan Writes’s current challenge. I forgot about last week’s so didn’t want to forget this time!
Take care when turning on the news:
Don’t take in too much tragedy,
Sensationalized on TV,
And words of fearmongers refuse.
It’s difficult, but let us choose:
The world today is full of fear,
But we need peace, and hold it dear.
Uncertainty over what will
Be is likely to make one ill,
So let us rest in Who is here.

Yes indeed! Sensible caution (and taking precautions) is one thing, but excessive fear makes people crazy.

I ignore the fear-mongering news as much as possible.
“So let us rest in Who is here” – I think I understand the Who you had in mind
