Troubling Times

In our chaotic world, harmony has retreated, leaving us at a loss, Now, hopelessly, we look on as chaos prevails, sanity crumbles and reason tossed, And amidst all the madness of greed, discord and unrest, We are each searching for a peaceful place to take a moment to rest. Instead, we’re blindly moving in different directions, trying to find solutions for a way out, But in every corner, there’s something that raises doubt, Fights break out as voices clash and opinions differ, In this chaotic state, it seems like everyone is at the edge of a cliff, with some saying jumping off might be better. In the turmoil close ties are broken, friends turn into enemies and love into hate, Then a darkness overtakes them, sealing their fate, All they have are screams of anguish, constant tears of pain, And death and destruction flow like rain. Yet, amongst the turmoil and despair, some with strong Faith still see a flicker of light that inspires hope, A chance for rescue through kindness and compassion, thus offering a way to cope, So let’s stand together amongst the shattered dreams and help each other through this plight, Through unity we can find the strength to rise like the Phoenix from the ashes, soaring high towards a place and time of stability and no more deadly fights. by Zyrool

Good Day to you, Hilda. Thank you for your kind words. I wrote it a while back but wasn’t sure about posting it. Touchy subject, don’t mean to upset anyone, my heart felt a bit relieved now I posted it though. Wishing you a wonderful day, my friend .
