DISTURB

Saint Teresa of Avila 

famously  said,
“Let nothing disturb you!” 

Well, I’m no saint, 

but I hope a lot of things 

disturb you. 

I hope you yell when 

someone dumps their 

junk  on our  sidewalks. 

Liars…. Liars …. Liars…. 

May your pants go on fire 

every time you  tell a lie. 

I hope you scream, 

“Wait a minute!” when bullies

start to take over the room.

More people need to stop abuse 

and cover-ups and allowing the 

uppity ups to get away with murder. 

So, Saint Teresa, sorry to disturb you, but 

if I read your story correctly, you surely weren't

scared to disturb the hell out of people.
