Unsettled

Shadows fall long and low. 
Darkness gathers dark and cold. 

Angry voices left and right
Outrage the key in every song.

Correct, 
Incorrect 
No matter what.
Depends only on whose side you’re on.

Shock. Anger and dismay
No!
No!!
No!!! 
That is all. 

My unsettled mind, 
heart 
and soul.

Last century's lesson, was it in vain? 
And if it happens now, what happened then.
Who will be the knight coming charging in?

Yesterday's hero is lost in his own woods. 
(Dark and ever deeper still.)

It might even be
Yesterday's hero is the wrecker of today's peace..
Fragile and broken as it is.
