Sometimes you just have to get angry


Sometimes you just have to get angry
at life’s unfairness
with everyone telling you it will be OK,
you are so brave, you are so courageous
and we wish something will happen
to make this all OK, 
but for now
you just feel angry

Sometimes you just have to get angry
and know there is no fairness in this moment
that’s just how it feels
no fairness in this moment,
in this moment, and
you just feel angry

Sometimes you just have to get angry
and ask why, why me, why now
there’s no real answer
nothing that will make this feeling go away,
you just feel angry

Sometimes you just have to get angry
when your friend is in need
and all you hear is
health care, no health care
as if this were an academic discussion,
and you know your family is scared
you just feel angry and scared

Sometimes we have to just get angry
I know that this could happen to me
and everyone I know
You get sick, really sick and
you need good medical care, and 
I'm just angry and confused

We have to get angry and work hard,
work harder to set this up right for all of us
Set this up right in our richest nation,
so that our children, our youth, our disabled,
our elderly and everyone, everyone
can get medical attention
so that we don’t just get angry.,
so that we don’t have to just get angry.


We can always do something to help ourselves, to help others.  Please.  This is what I wrote on Patti Digh's website, see www. 37days.com for further information; 

"You get those Big Girl Warrior Panties on Patti, and we writers and more will walk alongside you!  I've got my Wonder Girl Magic bracelets and rope on ready for this fight for Mr. Brilliant to get Spot out!  I am a 12-year cancer survivor and know that there are no guarantees.  I happened to have had medical insurance at that time, and fighting cancer is tough enough without the battle for money.  We'll smash those barriers too.  At the ready and will send what I can when Amy gets the website up.  Your strong offers have made us all better Patti and we're here for you.  I live by the code of the West - no one rides alone."
