Fire and Peace

The world around us is on fire and here I am just writing this poem feeling numb

To the left, to the right, doesn't matter which way I look

I got to be honest I am seeing people acting dumb

The things they say and do has got me all shook.

I am so tired of bad behavior and bad news stories

I feel as though I cannot breathe

Weather, groceries, utilities, gasoline and bills - yeah we got plenty of worries

Overwhelmed, yep, but we just can't give up and put on a mourning wreath

We have to be like Taylor and shake it off

There is certainly work to be done

Needs to be plenty of room for all at the trough

A mind in search of peace is a battle that must be won.
