There’s conflict rising in bloodless skies,
Like catchphrase posed to ease the pain.
‘To malfeasance, clearly we aren’t woke’
Soul shivers at mention of these words.
I say we rise, scream out loud — requite
Cause spirit’s worn out: lies and artifice
Let us breathe back love into this world.

I like that this feels like a call to action to be the love the world needs.
Definitely❤️ thanks for stopping by, Rommy 🙂
Pretty much all I feel like doing these days is either screaming or falling asleep forever. The world is getting uglier by the minute.
I so strongly relate to this feeling. Good to see you 🙂
Your opening image is so strongly worded, Sanaa. I, for one, am weary of lies and artifice.
Thank you so much, Kerry ❤️ so glad you liked it 🙂
That’s exactly what we have to do!
(Wink) Thank you so much for the lovely prompt, MZ ❤️
Perhaps, if we scream loud enough, more brains will be awakened….
Definitely❤️ thanks for stopping by, Magaly 🙂

Spirit IS worn out. Trying to wake up, personally. Thanks for this!
Thank you so much, Marian 🙂 so glad you liked it❤️
That’s the cure… but it hurts at the moment.
It certainly does hurt at times. I can relate to the feeling.
Let us indeed!
Kind regards

Definitely❤️ thanks for stopping by, Anna 🙂
I love those opening lines, Sanaa:
‘There’s conflict rising in bloodless skies,
Like catchphrase posed to ease the pain.’
Catchphrases are all Trump seems to offer – he doesn’t have much else. The words Mama Zen gave us certainly make me shiver. I agree about rising up and screaming but how many would join us in breathing love back into the world? Scary…
It’s definitely scary at the moment. Good to see you, Kim ❤️

Thank you so much, Hank 🙂 so glad you liked it❤️
a sentiment that is felt by many all over the world. for those of us who have a platform, let us holler, scream and yell, let us challenge the inequities happening and those being spewed by voices of hate and anger. for those of us who remember earlier ominous threats that engulfed the world, we survived through meeting the challenge, resisting, more importantly, promulgating ameliorative and corrective direction. ‘we shall overcome’ !
Definitely! Thanks for stopping by, Marco
