Note:   I was inspired and wrote these five poems today in five variations of the same theme.  If one changes one word  or verse it can change the meaning yet stay within the same theme.  The reader can decide which poem resonates the most with them and tell me in the comment section below which number it was.   If you would be so kind?

I have written all five poems in the haiku style of poetry and published them on my blog for the first time today, the 4th of June,  2020.

Nice poem! I could choose either, but the one thing I think is the biggest distraction in the world right now is the demonstrations for black lives matter that appeard from nowhere and doesnt make sense whatsoever. So I would go with version 2.
