Dark Thoughts

I look for light these troubled times

As inspiration for my rhymes

But bad news tends to dominate;

What is this world we now create?

 

New leaders come upon the stage

Recalling times that still enrage;

With the D.T.* lobby in the wings

We ponder roundabouts and swings!

 

Thin ice, as climate change pervades

South-East Asia – under waves?

Mask-wearing now so déjà vu

But is life safe – for me and you?

 

Millennials seem smug, content

With their computer lives now spent

Through screens, on-line, and all alone

Contact reduced to mobile phone …

 

Meanwhile, the glaciers drop away…

Bush fires - the order of the day?

Floods, tsunamis, rental hikes …

Is Armageddon in our sights?
