Overview
This humorous meme features a photo of a young person indoors, leaning back slightly while holding a wooden Christian cross out defensively in one hand and raising their other hand as if warding off an approaching threat, with a visibly distressed and frightened expression. Large white text overlaid at the top of the image reads 'POV: WHEN THE COCKROACH START FLYING'. The meme jokes about the common, widespread feeling of extreme helplessness and fear many people experience when encountering a flying cockroach, to the point of reaching for divine protection to fend off the pest.
