“the Quickening” Poem by Ray Lucero

Are you feeling out of sorts?
Absent minded n’ confused?
Your foundation lost support?
Feeling battered n’ abused?

Are friends n’ family sleepwalking?
Oblivious to what’s going on?
Unaware of what their talking,
By re-living times bygone?

You ask, “How can we prepare? ”
“How can I make a difference? ”
Who’ll stop this ongoing nightmare?

Please do not look at me askance!

You may see my words as bickering,
But the simple truth;
Earth is experiencing “The Quickening”
