Bruce Mundhenke- A Poem

The Shaking

Take some time to focus,
Consider where you are,
Trust the living God,
Not a shooting star.
Russia now in Syria,
Persia by their side,
Ezekiel spoke about this,
A long, long time ago.
North Africa in turmoil,
Turkey on both sides,
Iran scolding the Great Satan,
Pushing Europe all the while,
Everywhere suspicion,
Truces come and go,
The threat of war implied,
By maneuvers everywhere,
Those that have too much already,
Scheme to get some more,
And have come to the conclusion,
There are far too many poor.
Foul birds fill the branches,
But this was meant to be,
Soon we must be ready,
For the shaking of the tree.
