WHISPERS OF CHANGE

‘TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGING’ WHISPERS OF CHANGE Dylan Song Tribute Poetry Contest, Oliver Mckeitham, sponsor, 6/18/2025 the weight of the world hangs heavy, like dark clouds pregnant with rain. whispers of change linger in the air. we are but leaves in the wind, twisting and turning, caught in tumultuous storms. whispers of change linger in the air. writers, poets, and journalists gather in the shadows of their ink, the weight of unspoken truths lays heavy on their minds. whispers of change linger in the air. congressmen tarry in the shadows of their chambers, the cries of the weary and voices longing for change, muffled. whispers of change linger in the air. senators, the walls that cradle your decisions are thin, the air heavy with the dream-suffocating weight of silence. whispers of change linger in the air. parents, torn between the past and the pulse of tomorrow, their voices echo in the halls of memory. whispers of change linger in the air. paved with the stones of tradition, the road once traveled is cracking beneath the weight of progress. whispers of change are in the air. like seasons changing, the old order is rapidly fading, every end is but a new beginning, every sorrow, a seed for tomorrow’s bloom. whispers of change are in the air.
