Phases of Unrest

Visions thro a glass darkly

Explain the repercussion of expecting too much briefly.

The valleys I’ve come thro

Produce irrepressible proof of more to tunnel thro.

Building hopes and dreams

On desolations that overflow the brim

I’m hearing my soul scream

The situation creating insanity,

Throwing my mind on the theory of impossibility.

It’s a world of unfeeling

And my courage is careening

Out of control the only way to address

The last phase of unrest,

Is to stage a protest.
