tilting world

 Ive always known the earth spins at a tilt

today I feel I can actually feel it 

the earth tilting, spinning, throwing things off course 

not quite in control 


A plague is racing through the globe, 

across mountains and oceans

invisible but powerful, 

tumbling through mutations 

decimating populations 

2 years and no end in sight

we learn to live with this tilt 

masked warriors, we try to untilt 


war has broken out in europe again

like tectonic plates sliding, we witness the shifts in power

a country cancelled in united moral outrage, the rouble tumbling 

new alliances forming, 

countries take sides weighing the risks

the earth just keep tilting 


Ice sheets the size of countries are breaking away 

when they melt 

islands will sink 

and the world will be reshaped 


it is snowing in April 

I am tilting with the earth today 

spinning spinning 

away
