Chaotic Tornados

The chaos spins like wild tornados
Here, there, on the land everywhere
Disease, war, hatred, chemical weapon
Money is flying in darkness like confetti
Captured by criminals who have demands
Deaths reported daily, now loss of wildlife
Humanity is attacked viciously in every way
The future falters on weak, shaky ground
Days turn into survival, filled with defense
Truth is buried by corrupt liars with messages
Truth tellers who are trying to help, slandered
Evil is literally spreading like a tidal wave hit
It takes courage to pursue goodness against bullies
Hold on tightly to your faith, pursue your purpose
Time is limited amidst loss as seasons change
Love and love some more, wherever you can
Soon through the retreating cold, crocus will bloom
With colors from the love of God to woman and man
