In Uncertain Times
Resignation
Resignation, it's a word I never knew
Never knew, does that word now raise its mean head
Troubles ahead peaking around the corner
See THEIR ugly heads
Start with Mother Nature and her Climate Change
Papa Politic make up his mind he can't
Aunts and Uncles are dabbling Economy
Makes the Preachers swear
And others are nuzzling in should we resign
Then give up hope, dig our graves, find our shotguns
Not for me I'll wait and see if Better looms
Things change and adapt

I'm glad you lead up to waiting to see . . . The form helps you cut each observation down to just enough words. I especially like the family relationships. It seems they're all in it together.
I feel resigned too, with just a shred of hope for better days a ways down the road. Thanks for your encouraging words, Jim. We need them. So nice you found us at What's Going On.
I too will wait and see if better looms, but as things progress it is hard to believe the better days will come in my lifetime. I try not to be resigned that this is the way things will always be....but....
I am glad you have the internal optimist running through your soul and words - Jae
You are right, Jim. As Abraham Lincoln said: “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.”...
" I'll wait and see if Better looms" I guess, this is the only option left. What a time it is! Nicely put.
