I'M TIRED
I’M TIRED…
MA:R. October 2022
Patricia RAIN Gianneschi
I’m Tired
Tired
Tired of swimming upstream
Tired of marginalization, colonization, appropriation, and lack of communication
I’m Tired
Tired
Tired of the left
Tired of the Right
Tired of the same old FIGHTS
I’m Tired of the pronouns, the political correctness
Tired of mothers losing their children for their neglectfulness
Tired of pollution, and climate change
Tired of the mess on planet earth that we have made
I’m Tired
I’m tired of laundry, dishes, child care, and poverty
Tired of the red and blue, and now I’m tired of the purple too
Tired of money, and taxes and real estate deals
Tired of injustice, of lies, and those refusing to hear truth
I am tired, and I so miss the dear & honorable Justice Ruth
I am tired of plastic, and McDonald’s, and Streaming TV
Tired of Standardized tests
Tired of children without rest
Tired of football, and baseball, and the obsession with sports
I’m Tired of inequality and long for art & spirituality
I’m tired of a world where harmony no longer exists
I’m Tired
Tired
Tired of swimming upstream
Tired of fearing that soon
There may no longer be an American Dream
