Gathering Storms

Storms gathering around our world Emotional ones in societies’ turbulence Political ones, what’s peoples’ consent, Observing, thinking and contemplations Trying to decipher what it all means.
Democracies verging on collapse Powerful strongmen emerging now Bending people unto their control, Military forces are on full display Dissenters being thrown in jails.
Retreating into my inner sanctum Distancing from gathering storms Meditations on more peaceful times, Gathering storms out of my control Watching turbulence as it passes.
Disturbed to see what is happening now Humanity’s cruelties, too much in evidence, Watching storms gather, degree of angst, Observing, thinking and contemplations.
