I’m Afraid of the Shadows

I can’t sit still lately,

Is it the world around me?

Am I so overwhelmed?

Not sure what does lie ahead,

We have a sea of indifference,

Doesn’t know how to relate,

To understand the levity

Of all that could lay ahead of us,

In philosophy,

A controlling mandate,

When there isn’t even a full statement.

We have people literally,

Running for their lives,

Unsure what tomorrow might bring,

And we always said,

It will never enter our backyard.

But it is there now,

Planting seeds in our garden,

Not for lovely display,

Only instead,

Meant to suffocate our means.

I can’t sit still lately,

I’m afraid of the shadows.
