winter weary

           winter weary

I am tired of wearing socks
     my beloved sandals sidelined

I am tired of heavy jackets
     cold freezing winds on my face

I am tired of icy sidewalks
     grungy dirty cars in need of washing

I am tired of the pain in my arm
     this damaged nerve so slow to heal

I am tired of naked trees
     small birds foraging for seeds

I am tired of electronic devices
     that refuse to function as they should

           *******
I am more than tired
      of political polarization

I am more then tired
      of hate and bigotry of others

I am more than tired
      of unfit and unstable leadership

I am more than tired
      of threats of nuclear war

                       I am more than scared
