How Long Blues

I still love a lovely sunrise. I'm still struck by a rising full moon. But bring outraged by the actions of my fellow humans, I think, I've just been around here way too long. I still love the early morning silence. I'm still struck by the moments before a storm. But being surprised by the stupidity of our esteemed leaders, I think, I've just been around here way too long. I still love a new piece of music. I'm still struck by new visions of art. But being appalled by our capacity to enjoy the blood shed of other humans, I think, I've just been around here far too long.
