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.
