Trouble

19/01/2021 - Poem a Day Compilation



There’s trouble in the air

Blowing in the breeze

Howling in the gale

Whispering in the stillness



It’s the deafening shout

The call to arms

The charged battle-cry

The murmurings of misfortune



Where the worry meets you

And the anxiety takes hold,

The trials and tribulations

Break like waves on conflicted heads



It’s the money that changes hands

The deals behind closed doors

The handshakes over contracts

And the subtle nod and wink



When all is said and done

Good will hopefully prevail

But how many must suffer

Before the final shot
