A Time of Violence

A time of violence has pounced upon this country, Folks are angry, hungry and craving prosperity, The change they wanted never showed up, Now, many are sad, melancholy and "tore-up", The youth are becoming restless because they believe there is no hope for a promising future, All they hear is Politicians' lectures, The wee ones are becoming infested with feelings of despair, as colicky babies do, They need to know that safety exists everywhere, A country without a plan creates angst and restlessness, Nevertheless, citizens forge ahead with optimism, despite the whispers of skepticism.
