These days I find myself low on inspiration
My creative expression does not meet expectations..
*
I struggle to find something to write about that does not appear
Rooted in despair, cynicism or fear
The world increasingly seems to be
An unsafe place, full of volatility
All the events occurring in the world evoke
Strong emotions, my simmering anger stoke
As a rule of thumb, I do not write
When feelings of anger I am trying to fight
Anger suppresses my flow of ideas too
Writing a verse is the last thing I can do
When I am upset at the deplorable state
Of the world- I let my anger abate
Before starting a creative project in writing or art
To express myself well, I need tranquility of the mind and heart
Passion...unbridled 
Things just go from bad to worse. The fact that you write at all is wonderful!!

Thank you! I still believe that art is the way to counteract evil in the world. It is believed that Hitler was refused admission in an art course at the university, who knows whether the world would have been different if he had trained as an artist..
