Envision

(Prompt: Wisdom is not enough to calm your fears.)


The kinetic world is on a great sprint.
The silent seer stares at with a squint.
He feels distressed for the occurring harms.
With a solemn demeanour, he alarms.

Identity crises among nations
Contending with insecure relations
Keep their voices go with sonority
For comfort and self-based priority

Within countries, separatists conspire
Catastrophes are adding fuel to fire
Forcing uniformity – a threat
It's never too late to change the mindset

Creative destruction is invited.
Creating mess is to be indicted.
Agape love can alone wipe away tears
Wisdom is not enough to calm your fears.

It's a big world, yet somewhat fractured. I like how you captured the levels of distress in all our lives.
