The Coming Storm


I feel my ship listing
My course changed by beating waves
I try to sail true
But the waves, they are too strong

Around me is a storm
Winds of change are in the air
but winds cannot be trusted
they shift at a whim and take me along

this was not my plan

my crew is not allegiant
they speak one way yet vote another
who is really, on my side

anyone?

I feel I can trust no one
they're all the same, red or blue
they seek their own unending rule
they hold the reins, this I knew

But I always had hope

The storm is getting worse now
as if in concert the winds work on their symphony
prelude to war
destruction
death

I cry for the victims
myself included
I see no end to their treachery
I see no justice brought to bear

I see only hardships

This storm might sink us all
