Turmoil

 

It has been a while

Since I used this medium

To share my thoughts

Or vent my rage

 

But here I am again

Feeling compelled

To write in verse

By using my words

 

So much is happening

A lot of turmoil in the world

From idiotic politicians

To the ongoing pandemic

 

Women not able to go running

Or walk alone in the street

Without being a target

For men to take their life away

 

I wish this world was better

But we are where we are

And we must keep going

And do the best we can

 

We need to think of others

And focus less on us

Because being together

Is better than being alone
