Something has happened.
The energies have shifted.
Do you feel it?
Do you smell it?
It’s different. This multiverse.
Something has changed
And I’m not sure if it’s
For the better…
Violence in the media.
Violence in our heads.
Violence that we couldn’t
Have stopped
Didn’t have the resources
To care? To change?
Lobbyists and Capitalism.
What else can we do?
How else will it change?
Bleeding hearts.
Souls crying out.
The pitter patter of
Anxiety.
Deepest fears.
The not knowing.
Terrors and screams
As we scroll, scroll, scroll…
Was that a horror movie
Or real life?
Again and again, we keep
Going around in circles
Watching from afar, afraid.
Hearts feel heavy.
More lives lost. More Souls
Shocked. Jester Spirits
Abound. Dark forces.
Shadows.
Not only chaos but worse.
Selfishness?
Narcissism?
Self-centredness.
Self-preservation.
(Lack of) self-awareness.
History keeps repeating
Itself. Souls incarnating.
Here we go again and again

Writing sporadically... I tried some challenges but never won anything. Sometimes my poetry helps me process whatever has been going on... sometimes it is pure fiction. Sometimes I like to write about pop culture and astrology.

As an older millennial, this speaks to me. Yes, things have shifted. Very well written.
Great poem and very true! We all need to be more self aware and have more peace!
