Poems for a world gone to sh*t: the amazing power of poetry to make even the most f**ked up times feel better | 
pickThis collection brings more than white dead men into the mix, which makes it all the more interesting. It‘s a fun little collection of poems that lifts the spirit a bit in the current, crazy climate. Some of it has swearing and some of it doesn‘t, so if that bothers you, avoid this book. If not, kick back and enjoy this lovely little book of poetic mischief.

Excuse me?! Where was this when I read the whole poem? Clearly, Whitman is better is small doses.

I have always felt like this should be every person‘s aim in life. I have no idea where I ever got such notions, because it‘s certainly nothing I ever heard growing up. I just always had this feeling that this was what good people did; that this would be a life well lived.

We need a little more of this these days.

This seems entirely fitting for this moment in time.
(So much of this section is now digitally dogeared...as in almost every poem.)
“That let the children and childbearers toil
To purchase ease for the idle millionaires.”

THIS!!! I do not understand people who think of their children as possessions. Equally, I do not get people who indoctrinate their children and don‘t want their children thinking anything differently than they think. Society has got to start seeing children as human beings.
I am absolutely gobsmacked that children can be entrapped and straight up lied to in schools in TX to get whatever info the school wants. This is NOT okay.
“I‘m going to do nothing for ever and ever.”
I feel like this would sound fun for a few days, then I‘d want to do stuff again. If nothing else, I‘d want to read. That‘s definitely something, as opposed to nothing.

I rather like this one. I think I‘m always up for a good use of music in writing. I‘m biased, though.

Oh the flat earther morons!!! 🤦🏼♀️ The complete idiocy is just sad. 🤦🏼♀️ This isn‘t a difference of opinion, this is some idiot rejecting scientific fact.

This. This absolutely applies to America right now. Yes, to every word of this.

I‘ve always loved MacBeth. I actually liked it more when I was younger, but it still has some really good parts.

Well, that‘s one approach. The world sucks! Don‘t have kids! 🤷🏼♀️

Well, if this isn‘t a good place to start, I just don‘t know what is.
