Peace and Quiet

Election tension
Apprehension?
Home's a safe space
  Just in case

Fear a riot?
I don't buy it
Folks just want
  Peace and quiet

The Village Square's
Too noisy out there
The wise forbear
  Say silent prayers

I hope it all works out well, but I am glad I do not live anywhere around that fiasco.

Village Square's not for you, I dare say. Oh, well. ~ Circle the Wagons

Hello Gershon … your poem resonates really well. Politics; covid; and world tension need to give us a break, and by peace and quiet I mean - wise words indeed Gershon - Lindsay
