Calm before the storm …

Calm before the storm …

Original U-Blog

These are the days so often mentioned.

The days of

calm before the storm…

A menace grows around the globe.

Mask and garb disguise the monster.

Rhetoric – emblems, old and worn.

Deceit and lies as old as time.

Unrest, dissent – uneasy peace.

Listen closely, you can hear.

The drums of war increase their beat.

These are the days so often mentioned.

The days of

calm before the storm…

Why write?
I write because I am:
Driven to distraction by the inequities of the society in which we live.
Motivated by cruelty, abuse, ignorance and indifference.
My intention: To poke, prod and provoke!
"Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess." - Oscar Wilde
