EeeMy pen is blunt nowadays
Where is the rage against injustice
Sharpening its point?
Today I want more kindness.
Where is the horror shock
To wars and their victims?
Today I want more love.
Where is the sense of emergency
When looking at climate change disasters?
Today I want more security.
Is my due time limit showing its obsolescence?
Acceptation of droughts and cyclones
Devastation and catastrophes
Have done their job of slow erosion
Today I want to live in peace.
I'm tired and it shows
No scandal rises my ire any more
Be it political, economic,
Social or environmental
I let the bygones be bygones.
The world can fight without me
Until I can put a smile back
On my beloved faces
Then it's all I need to return
To dispatch the fiery windmills
Lightning the world's skyscape.
