SURVIVING CRISIS.

We hear the voice

of realism call,

Words incite reasons

for fear, concern and panick

Nailing futures for all.

Take away hope;

Replace it with stability,

Take away dreams;

Replace them with sensibility,

Discourage the quest for happiness;

And replace it with a weeks holiday,

Take away purpose and incentive;

Replace them with numbing blockages

accepting meagre necessities,

Take away striving for a better quality of life;

And replace it with diminished propensities.

Implications unfounded; yet howl unspoken;

shaping avenues of living extremities.

We hear the voice

of severe truism call,

Hailing signs for panick

Nailing to the mast, an austere future for all.

Let heart, mind and sound ingenuity

rise above the crisis spawned.
