PART I
Nothing is the same as it was
It’s like a bad car accident
After which, can you walk
Can you even dream to run
Your mind blows
How do you understand
The drama plays out
No one can direct this play
It comes when it will
It won’t go when you want
Everybody thinks
Some thoughts stay
And some thoughts go
Collective energy builds like a storm
Ready to unleash its blows
The forecast is doom
The gloom blocks the sun
Where do the birds go to hide
Taking flight could be suicide
Words like bullets fly
Hitting their intended marks
There is no love in these words
Only scathing accusations
Fear and gossip have prevailed
Ignorance and slander
Fueled by those I love
It’s been building up for years
There is no debate
No back and forth
There is no evidence
Only wild conspiracies
The energy is violent
The silent treatment is applied
Like a witch doctor to force my hand
The heart must be protected from this assault
For immaturity is to blame
And fear is in the blood
So brace yourself
Cause like an unwanted guest
Here she comes
…………………………………………………………..
PART II
AFTER THE STORM
With a storm, there is always destruction
The winds control the sky and air
The rains pelt the surface of the earth
We are blinded by the commotion
Unable to focus on anything but
Survival
All the hackles and nerves raised and shot
But now that the storm has passed
And the shadows of discontent have dissipated
Breathing is easier
The smell of the wet ground permeates
Our senses take in the aftermath
I should have done this
And maybe if I said that are now passed
And in this moment the truth is present
The lessons continue
And the humility is accepted
Time to build and rebuild
Focus is the key to success
As one navigates through the aftermath
Naked we come into this world
And naked we leave
It is the time between that matters
To build a tribe that will outlast us all
And bring the truth to those we will never meet
That love is all that matters
