A POEM FOR THESE TIMES "IT WILL BE ALRIGHT" By Axel Conradi

Axel Conradi

No one’s talking, only tweeting

Traffic’s crawling, drugs are killing
But the birds still sing, my friends surround me
It will be alright, it will be alright

I don’t know why, I don’t know when
It may be in the here-and-now
It may be in the afterlife
I’ll cast my vote for the present tense
Because the future’s looking sketchy

Forests burning, ice caps melting
My head is pounding, my brain rebelling
But the birds still sing, my friends surround me
It will be alright, it will be alright

I don’t know why, I don’t know when
It may be in the here-and-now
It may be in the afterlife
I’ll cast my vote for the present tense
Because the future’s looking sketchy

Clans are stirring, the kids are marching
A virus spreading, people dying
But the birds still sing, my friends surround me
It will be alright, it will be alright
