A Country In Turmoil

A country in turmoil 
I watched frantically as
The world’s peace seems to
Be slipping away
As the coronavirus rages on
Trying to connect itself with
Everyone in its path and
There seems to be no cure
Nor end in sight, only toleration
From hurricanes to tornados
Killing and destroying everything
In its path 
From snowstorms, bringing
Record snow and cold temperature
To our states
To our government who’s bickering
And fighting among each other
Locked in a power struggle and
Not agreeing on anything that’s
Going to help the people
Especially the seniors
There are also unforeseen fires
That tear through our cities
Wiping out all in its path 
Afterwards, it looks like
Something from a horror movie
Even displacing the precious animals
Taking them away from their
Natural habitat, leaving them homeless
Now I’m wondering, what’s next
