In Trouble

@CollectedWriting, @jaybotten, Haiku, Poetry 1 Minute

Perilous trouble
Turbulent perceptions burst
Seeking security

We are in trouble
Torn apart contentiously
Tearful, in dismay

Troubled and pleading
Save us, save us from ourselves
We cannot be saved

Troubled in spirit
The soul of the world, distressed
Burned with sacred fire

Troubling ignorance
Blinders falling like a mask
Groping through the haze

I was born on a Tuesday, Earth Day, 1969; and eighty-nine days later we set foot on the moon.
