Chaotic Blur

Seeking truth in this era of distraction

These times

Every second

Every minute

Every hour

Every day

Scroll, flip, forget

This chaotic blur

What we have become

Manipulation by distraction

Puppets on strings

Demons behind the curtain

Creating distortion

This chaotic blur

Innocence lost

Calculating predators

Stalking, lurking

Devious in their cunning

Choosing the vulnerable

This chaotic blur

Turn away from what we see

Mesmerized by our division

Tribes they created

Divide and conquer

All crafted by wicked hate

Preying upon fear

This chaotic blur

Touching our own lives

Daughters, wives, mothers

Victims all

Of menacing expectations

Created by masculine tone

Politely pressed to please

This chaotic blur

Women of singular courage

Summoning profound strength

Heroines to be admired

Refuse not to be forgotten

Truth inspires compassion

Creating focus

Sharp and clear

In this moment

Resilience

An inspired stand

Hopeful to end

This chaotic blur

*Respectfully dedicated to my amazing wife Jane, and all the seen and unseen strong women of these times.   I admire very single one of you.
