sixty minutes
I turn on the television and catch
this eighty-something say how “they”
saved millions of lives by having
people cease smoking
(of course I assumed he was
talking about cigarettes)
he was quite proud of himself
going on to say how good he feels
when looking in the mirror
of course I took what he had
to say out of context
(and nearly contemptuously)
certain that jesus would have
handled himself entirely differently

I had a very similar feeling… the rich live on a different plane…
I had just gotten home and in a happy place – it would have been wise of me to keep it turned off.
😀 I like this sharp humor
Thank you, Monika.
