I am a tsunami.
My path set in front of me,
I can’t help but devastate
as you and I collide.
I am unconstrained.
Even in the residual calamity
I stir with dissonant anticipation
and the tremors force me to life.
I revel in the chaos
trapping and consuming
all that once alluded me.
Rushing. Flooding. Swirling.
I’m unreeled
and unrivaled.
Bubbles rise.
Grasping for the air
you all
so desperately require.
I withdraw.
Contract.
Recede.
My God
The pieces follow my watery
tendrils.
The ocean of my sorrows
bury the casualties.
Peace and stillness reside.
I wait.

Should We Not Try to Get Too Political?
Here's something you often hear people say, "I try not to get too political." I understand the sentiment and I sympathize with it... while at the same exact time, I completely disagree with the notion. Whether it's referring to social media or wherever, it's kind of unavoidable. You can attempt to sidestep it, not engage, leave the less important things for actual politicians to discuss... you can want it to not take over your life, your conversations, your relationships, and that makes perfect sense.
