Storm's Coming - a Poet's Dozen

black clouds gathering thunder rolls in the distance a storm is brewing Winds of change are blowing. Can you feel the tension growing? Discontentment, fear and anger thrive, while integrity and trust are trampled on. Yes, an awful storm is coming. We must not be taken by surprise. Revolution's heartbeat's thrumming, people open up your eyes! It's time for truth and no more lies.
11/2/15 For Silent One's Poet's Dozen contest

Congrats Kim on your win! We have 2 english mastiffs and they are our eyes and ears. When they get agitated something's up, when they bark something is there.

Kim, congrats on placing in S.O.'s contest. Almost could use your words for a battle cry. 'Viva la revolution'. Lol. Unfortunately, your words ring true. Things are getting out of hand and it's only a matter of time before people rebel. Very thought provoking write. Hugs. Janece
