Poem Title:
Poem
At the stroke of midnight, a brand new day dawns Heralding the commencement of a fresh page In our lives where our heart no longer groans Over challenges that somehow drew outrage At the turn events the previous day took Springing on us a surprise good or bad As unexpectedly we forsook Caution and invited onto us a bad Omen that drove us to the brink of despair Tossing, spinning and twisting In a bid to repair A green monster who insisting Upon sneaking into our rearguard Drove us astray Until we realized disregard Of prompts from our conscience when we failed to pray Cost us plenty in lost opportunities to grow Socially, spiritually and morally As our moral compass we seemed to throw Away opting instead for the line of least resistance that literally Plunged our world into total darkness Conjuring up paths littered with debris That enveloped the thoughtlessness Driving us to pluck a hexing fruit from the proverbial forbidden tree Seeking succor but reaping retribution For the dour disobedience In defiance to ten commandments to which we clang in a mission whose contribution Shoved aside sapience Inherited for free at birth Squandered at will as rough seas of life We began to navigate during our pilgrimage on Earth Thereby planting, germinating and growing within us a reward of boundless strife.
