Social media and going live on it gives some people the nerve to cowardly disregard the value of life. I’m sick to my stomach at the fact that someone’s murder is something that’s just tossed around on social media without a care. As if someone’s life is nothing. I’m disgusted with this, as well as the murderer. There’s no respect at all. Not for the living nor the dead. The victim’s name was Robert Godwin, Sr. and his life was valuable to his loved ones. His life was valuable and it was taken away on Resurrection Sunday. My heartfelt condolences go out to Robert Godwin, Sr.’s loved ones. These are my feelings on a Monday afternoon: going insane when the world is too much.

An execution was broadcast for all to see,

As if his being means nothing.

As if his life is just a sideshow in a country in chaotic disarray.

I’m angry with disgust,

As humanity is anything but humane

With its habit of devaluing life.

To BE or not to BE.

With all of the world’s problems laying heavy on my mind,

I rest my head in my hands

And I ask the universe, “Why?”

What do you do when the rain can’t wash away your tears?

Where do you go where your silent cries can be listened to?

Saying, “Fuck it” is what I can’t refrain,

And I don’t know what the fuck to do to keep from going insane.
