Confusion
......... CONFUSION ..........
Spring bulbs peeking up and out of seclusion
wooed and urged by warmths' delusions
then scared and unprepared, unable to retreat
from entrapment
of unexpected white snowy blanket
Tree buds also seduced by warm caresses,
urged to sneak out
with bulbs blessings
Then confusion between both, uncertain
how to proceed
unable to reverse decisions made
but now how to survive and succeed
Seasons so blurred, also confused and
unsure of what to do when
Bulbs and buds seeking reassurance
and realistic answers
To Earths' plagues, pathos and cancers
Weathers' erratic moods, planets' pollutants
Countless confusions, fewer solutions
Soil in turmoil, atmosphere in disarray
Chaos and confusion, paying penalties for
supposed progress while ignoring the real price
our precious planet will pay
Multifaceted, multidisciplinary solutions
Supposed experts inserting statistics and
conclusions
Some ideas for preventing more scars
Some stupid suggestions, like living on Mars
Planet confusion a given for millions of years
Prompting facing the fears, changing the gears
Divorce not a choice but come together
in united voice
Adaptations secured survival from atom
and cell alterations
Secures survival through anger and outrage
Of chaos and confusion while seeking more
palatable and desirable solutions
non toxic
Exploring different boxes to think outside of
with concerted calm, not bad words or shoves
All I wish for is simple yet not, no pretend
For the buds and bulbs to know what to do when
That's all.............
Curb the CONFUSION.............
