Uncertainty

 

Nebulous seas of unchartered waters

break their waves over the forecastle

of our insignificant  beings

Raging storms, gusts of hurricane winds

batter the rigging of a ship tossed about by fear

Then we stumble into the tranquility of the waiting doldrums

where mother nature settles the ocean to that of a pond

We are aghast by the stark reality of drought,

famine and volcanic eruptions

We become enrapted in a turmoil of humanity´s pain

where utter confusion and uncertainity do reign

Kingdoms unleash their chariots of war

with ordinances of horror do store

Perplexed, victims of a spinning globe

we clutch to life jackets and to straws

Alienated and cut adrift with no vision to console

as the terrestial horizon is no more
