The Wind From “Alaskae”

Well, you read about it in the daily papers,

And you see it all the time on TV,

And you wonder if such things can really happen,

To unsuspecting people like you or me.

Last night, a man was shot in the suburbs,

And tomorrow night, a tragedy at sea,

When you feel that chill go up and down your spine,

It’s the wind of fortune blowing from Alaskae.

💨🌬️💨🌬️💨🌬️

Do you ever wonder about the issues in this world?

Do you ever wonder whose misfortune it will be?

Do you think that people ask to be caught up in senseless wars?

Do politicians pretend that they can’t see?

Their archaic laws and judicial systems,

Do they really protect you and me?

Chills your bones and dulls your emotions,

Cold Alaskan wind, please don’t blow on me.

💨🌬️💨🌬️💨🌬️

Don't you think we take our lives a bit for granted?

God knows we are only here for a short while,

And it is so easy for us to fall victim.

Of that cold wind blowing in from the sea.

Spare a thought for those of us less fortunate,

Try to be as happy as you can be,

Lie is too short to fight and quarrel,

And don’t forget the cold wind from Alaskae.

💨🌬️💨🌬️💨🌬️

[Author's note: The wind from Alaskae is symbolic of the wind of the future that blows on us. In this case, in a negative way. Alaskae is simply metaphorically a cold, icy wind from Alaska, modified to rhyme.]

Till next time,
