Fear and Chaos

As the country hits its knees ...

By D.L MichaelsPublished 7 years ago 1 min read

Fear will run this country

Fear will take its hold

Kissing you with kindness

Before it breaks the mold

It slips into your spine

And tells you that it's fair

It brings your chest out bravely

Before you know it's there

And when you sleep in silence

When your world is dim and dark

It hides beneath your pillow

And waits to leave a mark

For when the bump of chaos

Wakes you from your rest

You pull fear from your pillow

And press it to his chest

You shout to all the children

That this is what is fair

And chaos takes the bullet

Before you know it's there....

About the Creator

D.L Michaels

While sitting in my fifth grade class, tapping my pencil loud enough to drown out the voices... one voice rang through louder than ever. It was my teacher. She told me writing was my destiny. So here I am, fulfilling the prophecy.
