Resisting the Storm
A strong wind blows this land into the sea,
and only rocks resist its pressure. Still,
they go along, as if they all agree,
having no clue, their choices now ill,
without control. The wind breaks their old drill,
is blowing on, only stopped by screens
of the caring, who guard by all means
the values there and bravely hold a stand.
They will fight on, while others quit the scenes,
they just refuse to surrender the land.
