Winds of Change

Winds of change are blowing, Tension fills the air. Fear comes from the unknowing, Tempers are quick to flair. Tension fills the air, Condemnation without proof. Tempers are quick to flair, Misinformation proclaimed as truth. Condemnation without proof, A cauldron of boiling hate. Misinformation proclaimed as truth, What will be our fate? A cauldron of boiling hate- Fear comes from the unknowing. What will be our fate? Winds of change are blowing. Kim Merryman 9/13/20 Pantoum

Nice descriptiveness and rhyming. A fine example of a quality pantoum.

Condemnation without proof - should be the motto in Washington DC. Misinformation desperately needs to be changed. Strangely enough, Kim wrote this before the banning of people's accounts on Twitter and social media. Thanks for sharing your vision, Kim.
