Eye Of The Storm
in the eye of the growing storm
the calm you’d expect, suddenly gone
frantic anticipation the new norm
hurricane season is upon us
but our leadership so schizophrenic
daily explode division and chaos
swirling thermal vortex strength
seems to go completely unnoticed
in the jaded halls of power
with denial … the driving force

Our country is such a mess, along with the whole world. Governments that care nothing about those they govern, nor what they need. Seems as if that old adage about power corrupting is right on target.
I just try to keep a low profile…lol.
Insightful words, Liam.

Agreed … I probably don’t keep as low a profile as is wise, but no one has ever accused me of great wisdom…; -)~
I’m pleased you like my poem… 😃

You’re very good at poetically expressing societal and political rot. And the poems you construct concerning your observations as you go about your morning ride bring what you write to life.
And though we disagree about some issues, I think you’re a wise man…a deep thinker. I admire that. 🙂

Kate, I’m humbled by your praise. It means a lot to me. … Unfortunately, I think you’ve overestimated this old geezer. It’s true that in my youth, I believed I was gifted and could plumb the deepest thoughts, but in truth, my understanding and creativity is mediocre at best, and I’ve come to accept that. Can’t afford to lie to myself anymore. I’ve always let those who believed in me down. I only hope that I don’t betray your good opinion as well… I always tell myself that I don’t care what anyone else thinks about me or my offerings, but it appears that I do, at least in your case…; -)
