the fog of social media

Whatever you say translates as

"blah, blah, blah"

through the filter of your

lack of credibility.

I worry that people are not

being treated (or even seen to have)

for underlying conditions that sap

the energy from what we need to succeed

in our daily lives, but rather are mistreated

for a thing the docs like to call "depression"

that they blame the patient for not responding

to their theorized "cures"  escalate mistreatments

that make the situation worse both from the

underlying ignored issue and convincing people

they are broken by a nonexistent malady because

the treatment actually needed is denied as is the

reality of all these suffering maligned.

Okay, I get it -- the people presumed to be dying:

those of color, of age, of pre-existing conditions

-- those cost/benefit gives reason to be happy

to lose.

Stuff I've lived through -- long before

the fog of social media
