Winged Warrior Poet Lyric

Listen to poem:

In Times Like These

Rainbows within the sky
Shadows are passing us by
Covering the dead that die
Winds are wondering why

Blood and sweat in the sand
People walking in a distant land
Smiles are frozen as they stand
Laughing has been banned

Eyes upon the saddened Sun
We are out to hurt no one
Our Phasers set on stun
Hang on tight to your gun

Folks staying far apart
What happened to our start?
Sending arrows to my heart
Realigning reality to restart

Do as they say no more excuse
Tyrants of power of more misuse
Prisoners set on the loose
Time for them to re-abuse

Arrests made in your front yard
Playing Frisbee has been barred 
Fighting with the grooming guard
All are memories have been scarred

The children are not at school
Who will teach them the golden rule?
Who is the victim who is the fool?
Education is no more the tool

Mainstream media ticks the clock
Pandemics are here to shock
Shakers & fakers feed their flock
Maniacs are here to mock

Smoking breaks the mood
Soon to be out of food
Don’t want to sound so rude
But I think we're $%#@ing screwed.

Jennifer Proxenos May 13, 2020 at 11:27 AM Your last line explains you sentiments completely my dear friend, how right you are! In two and a half months 300000 people have died globally, is humankind to become extinct, we must fight back, and work hard to find this demon's track. Blessings and hugs Wingster, time for my superhero and Fireball to take over ruling Planet Earth! Jennifer.

Paula Goldsmith May 12, 2020 at 1:34 PM Congratulations on your win. I love where you say, "Laughing has been banned." Oh no, that is all we have left. I also love where you say, "But I think we're $%#@ing screwed." Enjoy your day and win.........

Tom Cunningham May 10, 2020 at 11:24 AM A couple of months ago there wasn't a word about it and now our beautiful world has been torn apart, I think the aftermath of all this will be horrendous. Well written W. W. And congrats. Tom

Silent One May 10, 2020 at 9:38 AM I am sure we will be fine, just need to be careful and keep social distancing... Congratulations on your placement in the contest..

Regina Mcintosh May 7, 2020 at 8:38 AM Such a exceptional write. I could relate to your words and am sure many will be able to. I think you've written a keeper. Love and good health to you always. Many blessings and prayers, Gina

Timothy Hicks May 6, 2020 at 6:52 PM CONTINUED: One more thing I wanted to say. "We are out to hurt no one Our Phasers set on stun Hang on tight to your gun". REALLY loved the message here ... weapons don't mean paranoia or a wish for a bloodbath ... they are there are for safety and peace. (a new renaissance on the horizon ... perchance?)

Timothy Hicks May 6, 2020 at 6:49 PM Yikes. So much brutal truth in your poem here ... some too afraid to say out loud in fear of retaliation from the mob: "Prisoners set on the loose" "Arrests made in your front yard" ... After the virus has it's way with us ... then comes Big Guv with an even bigger, bloodier stick! Like you, I fear for the future, but stay optimistic in the present... fear can have my tomorrow (it doesn't need my today as well!)

Judy Ball May 5, 2020 at 9:27 AM It sure looks that way doesn't it. Makes one glad to keep a larder. Start now to build one if you haven't got one. Buy big bags of rice and store it away. If you have a freezer try to fill it up little bit at a time. Buy flour and salt and pepper to have on hand. Put back cold meds. Prepare yourself and pray. God Bless, JB
