New poem:
The Change Has Already Begun
I dream
of danger, wake up in danger.
I
smile, though I know I should frown.
Strange
red clouds are patrolling the sky
And the
sun will no longer lie down.
Café
customers have taken first sips
of a
brew that’s becoming too strong.
The
morning trains are jammed to the doors,
and
the journeys are taking too long.
Children
in schools open books up anew,
but
all teaching has long since been done.
A
new kind of sports day is coming our way –
where
the race has already been won.
Media
swear truth on their bulletin hour,
yet
the news on the web has been spun.
I
look for a sign that something's to start,
but
the change has already begun.
