by Cleve Sylcox
In the turbulence,
I do see,
A reckoning,
As I bleed,
Self,
In human form,
Cast aside,
He did warn,
Wind of change,
It do harm,
Tears apart,
Cold not warm,
Gather not,
In times like these,
Run and dwell,
Silence of pleas,
Deaf is the judge,
Loud is the reaper,
Hold your hands,
Hate grows deeper.
Love of life,
Love of time,
Gone to dwell,
In sin and crime,
Time of past,
Still lingers on,
In his mind,
It has never gone.
