World Struggle.

Michael A. Watkins 1965 (san diego)



Right after the pandemic
comes the worse thing could happen,
a building filled with our loved ones
all of a sudden just collapsed-in,
Republican Vs Democrat-
a Governor being recalled,
fear of another capital attack
makes a hostage of us all,
unemployment is still pending
while our bills need to be paid,
on top of all this chaos-
there's an increase in road-rage,
In a world that's not perfect
I find comfort from up above,
Praying for guidance, understanding-
healing, forgiveness and love.

By Michael A. Watkins.

About this poem

Sometimes things happen to us that we don't have control over and it's then that we need to be the strongest.
