Strange Wind Blowing

a Crown Oddquain poem

Strange
wind blowing,
a cold harbinger 
of darker things to follow
soon. 

Much
closer now 
than the day before,
much closer now than sages
know..

Yes,
bad fortune
is nigh upon us,
and yet we will not listen
still. 

Do
we forget
every past lesson,
all those we lost in senseless 
war?

Blast
us into
mass oblivion,
let nature grow the garden
new.
