Pervasive

Can you feel the wind as it blows?
it is moving from row to row
it is ripping through the crowd
and it is very loud

it whips and lashes  
and it bellows through the big yard
it takes everything that is in its way
and it catches the animals that are running away.

The wind speaks the language of the universe
but one thing I know, it never curses
for it elevates your boys and girls
but when it touches in the wilderness
you can hardly hold your breath

It spread over shrubs and bushes
and it takes down the highest, mountain 
when there is no fountain; it is spreading
and the momentum is growing 
but they know where they are going.

Rumor spreads like mad men
losing their mind in the street
and the wind running a marathon among the trees 
communicating with trunks, branches, roots and leaves
reminiscing an age-old reality.

It was just like yesterday
when news that the Atlantics had swept away
broke in the middle of the day 
It happens suddenly when the universe was unaware
and you and I wasn’t there
an entire island disappeared
not a trace of it cannot be found
but Its legacy is still spreading around.

The wind is coming to your town
and it will turn everything around
so get your house in order
for the wind is going to blow
In your corner, it is not the wild west
but longevity will conquer the rest.

When voices cannot speak
the people will dance in the street
and anywhere it goes it will
bore holes in the ground and disrupt 
your heartbeat.

It is spreading everywhere 
 so you have got to prepare
get your emergency bag on hand
and the universe will give you a helping hand

The rumor is spreading everywhere
And it’s on the air, social media, and everywhere
It’s pervasive, it like cancer tangled with the wind,
and when it’s around you cannot sing
but the final wind will blow
 and the universe will administer the show
              
                      it is pervasive!
