(Three Lives, Three Sonnets, Three Friends, Fate's Dark Hand) POEM 1. Nights Were Our Time Setting Our World Ablaze POEM 2. When Man Lusts For All, Seeking All The More POEM 3. Yet A Cure Within Light's Truth, May Be Found ) Poem (1.) Nights Were Our Time Setting Our World Ablaze Youth, we thought world, our commands must obey we headlong raced to grab new gold all day Not knowing such may bring unholy Hell, Slacked our thirsty throats from deepest dark well! Living our quest for pleasure's Holy Grail We our own desirous lusts chased pell-mell On paths were horrific roadside remains, Of dead things and other slow drying stains! When those older and wiser tried to warn We laughed seeking to burn every new barn Nights were rampages to set our world ablaze, In foolish glee more hell we sought to raise! Alas! For three time allowed no amends! As Fated black hand its early death sends! Robert J. Lindley, 12-02-2019 Sonnet, ( When Fate Allowed One Of The Four To Live On ) Poem (2.) When Man Lusts For All, Seeking All The More Beneath heaven's stars, below mountain tops Streets full of cars, traffic that never stops Hustle and bustle of racing world speeds, Seeking massive wealth, as if such life needs! Under dawn's new glow, some work as if bees Amass wealth for show, as time away flees With little thought of living to explore, What help one may give to our needy poor! Above this sad world, sweet blue sky adorns Nature's gifts hurled, yet red rose has sharp thorns Careful sniff, aromatic its sweet smell, As man's vanity such beauty impales! When man lusts for All, seeking All the more. Souls thus sold, oft birth war's bloody gore! Robert J. Lindley, 12-02-2019 Sonnet, ( Black Curse, And Destruction That Such Greed Brings ) Poem (3.) Yet A Cure Within Light's Truth, May Be Found When the truth from ones life has been removed Vacancy slows what could have been improved Then comes decadence, its decaying rot Buckets of woes, despite what you have got! Life and this dark world, every soul affects In myriad of ways, some bring neglect Of heartfelt need for romance and true Love That oft negates pains of world's push and shove! Alas! Blinded path many millions walk As wickedness in this evil world stalks To happiness devour by its great Dark Roaming seas, eating as a great white shark! Yet a cure within Light's truth, may be found If one prays, asks to no longer be bound! Robert J. Lindley, 12-02-2019 Sonnet, ( Memory And Sorrows It Sometimes Brings To Remind )
