Saving Grace

SAVING GRACE In the middle of the universe, I stand Where it all revolves around man Selling and consuming disastrous blends Burning the candle at both ends Neglecting duty, overriding beauty This story of the ages, never told by sages Who lived in the bell jar, with the fat cats in the big car Where small minds, busied and blind Lost the human race NO ONE’S SAVING GRACE! 2.4.15: J. Polatnick Submission: In the Middle of the Universe, I stand

The author skillfully brought the reader into the story and we felt comfortable, while entertaining deep thoughts spurred by the author's words. The rhythm worked well here, giving each line an emphases and strengthening the effect it had on the reader. Emile.
