Prompt 7: Write a poem titled Season of the (fill in the blank). Then fill in the blank could be a reference, it could be an actual season, it could be something abstract, or concrete, anything you want. The key is to write a poem that matches, or interacts with that title.
{Season of the Unrest}
We are disturbed
by uncertainty
by change
there is upheaval
a plague is ravaging the lands
fear is invading the small minds of beings
the race is threatened with scourge
reactions are varied and confronting
some turn to fight an unknown enemy
whilst others turn on themselves
they fight the system
they fight their brothers and sisters
fear and ignorance is rife
misaligned rights are demanded
leaders are struggling and inept
oppression invades the collective consciousness
the ancestors watch amused
such antics on this earthly plane
they nod wisely then
turn and continue their walk
through the season of unrest
