Dilemma


News anchors are intimidating, newspapers disturbing.
Facebook and Twitter unsettling, Whatsapp is troubling.

Family and friends have chosen their sides,
Arguments, squabbles, even break-ups are rife.

Am I a traitor or patriot - I don't know myself,
Where's the guy who said ignorance was a bliss.

Wish life was simple and I could just live the personal,
But that now eludes me forever as the personal is political
