Just one drop
Is all it takes.
Just one drop
A universe makes.
Just one drop,
The ocean initiates.
Just one drop ,
A tear creates .
Just one drop,
A flower stimulates.
Just one drop,
Of dew evaporates.
Just one drop,
Of love our heart exaggerates.
Just one drop,
Of hope our mind appreciates.
Just one drop,
Of curiosity investigates.
Just one drop,
Of perfume satiates.
A drop.
Of sound resonates.
A drop.
Of honey ingratiates.
A drop.
Of venom terminates.
A drop.
Of acid eliminates.
A drop too many
Of alcohol inebriates.
A drop.
Of shame humiliates.
A drop.
Of virtue perpetuates.
A drop.
Of sunlight irradiates.
Just one drop,
A world to create.
When the drop evaporates,
A world disintegrates.

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
