ADD TO MY FAVORITES
Ideas swirl in my head
They bounce off each other
They collide and combine
They morph
Something is being born
A small change grows larger
It won't stop
Order is demanded
It is being ignored
It is being overrun
It is being denied
What was born is now spreading
It acts like a virus
It infects all around it
It envelopes the remnants of order
It stamps it out
No compassion is shown
No mercy is given
It overtakes all it sees
It moves faster then a bolt of lighting
But it pierces just the same
It is an unwelcomed guest
It is a spy
An operative trying to bring chaos
Undermining the peace that was present before
Half-hearted efforts tried to eradicate it are unsuccessful
No changes are able to be made
All other ideas are stamped out
It demands that it be the center of attention
It creates havoc
Yet offers no peace in the future
Comfort is exchanged for discomfort
Joy is traded for dismay
A smile is overtaken by a frown
This creature is screaming its satisfaction
It has distracted you
It has taken your peaceful world and turned it upside down
It revels in its delight
It dances around with pure joy
Its task has been accomplished
It smiles a villainous smile
Enjoying its new home, it looks around with pride
It likes it here
It has all intention of staying and making this home permanent
There is only one thing that can kill it
It hopes its weakness will never be found
Do you know what its weakness it?
If you do, pass the word
Our world is in dire need of this revelation
Will you help those around you defeat this pestilence?
Or will you walk past and let them fall prey?
Will you make a difference?
Or will you just ignore them wrapped up in your own life?
The choice is yours
I just hope you make the right one

If not for the title, though, I wouldn't have known that "it" was confusion. Maybe some imagery more specific to confusion would help?
Thanks for this poem!
