Kim Merryman Poet Verse

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.
