the tyranny of happiness

the american dream is to be happy
and money would be good, too.
let's look at photos of grandchildren and
vacations, settle comfortably in our warm cars
we are all guilty of looking away
i am guilty.
social media posts that call us to awaken
do not receive likes
while the mills of hatred spin their wool
to conceal our eyes
