The tension is building… (poetry)

The tension is building

It almost has taste

While all around us

They’re laying to waste

All that is good

And what came before

Taking and taking

But still wanting more

More of your life

Your time and your thought

They want people fearful

To be scared and distraught

But not all the folk

Are playing their game

Not everyone folded

And took on the shame

Instead, they held firm

And went with their heart

Seeing a darkness

Creep in from the start

Whatever is coming

It seems we can’t hide

So as it gets closer

We each must decide

Just where it is

That we want this to go

There’s no time to dither

And say you don’t know

~

Because if you don’t decide, they will
