Crucible

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Jan 28, 2024 

Compression.
Inflection
point.
Passing
through.
Stressing.
Accelerating
change.
Gale force
winds
buffeting.
Civilization
off balance.
Teetering.
Ground
shaking.
Searching
for
equilibrium.
Steady
path
forward.
Humanity
in the
bubbling
crucible,
grinding
forward.
Flailing
for
outcome.
Destination
unsure.
In doubt.
Hold
tight.
Batten
down
the hatches.
Bumpy
ride
ahead.
