There Is A Dangerous Sun Now A'Rising
 
There is a dangerous sun now a'rising, 
this world's blindness is a'surprising
far too many walk a dying road
far too many believe great lies told,
soon old truths they will be a'roasting
and in darken fog proudly a'toasting.
 
Danger and fear will come a'plenty
death will dance well in year a'twenty
far too many will life be a'wailing
far too many their lies be a'spelling
soon the shores will give away the sands
and tears ill wet fresh washed hands.
 
There is a dangerous tale in the telling
poison forests burnt after their felling
far too many moan out their lonely emotions
far too many selling their snake oil potions
soon freedoms once enjoyed will be overtaken
and our land will be truly God forsaken.
 
There is a dangerous sun now a'rising, 
this world's blindness is a'surprising
far too many walk a dying road
far too many believe great lies told,
soon old truths they will be a'roasting
and in darken fog so proudly a'toasting.

Note:
I previously started this poem for The PoetrySoup Corona virus contest.
Created the outline and stopped, finished that and came back for 5 edits later.
After giving great thought I decided not to enter it. To hold it for later.
Many reasons for that decision, but truth is I think it lacks due to
its author's losing the needed inspiration- that which youth once did
in the bucketfuls "centuries ago" showered. Now my friends, do as I may, 
due to that sad reality and its failing fruits I can no longer pretend.
A poet can only measure by looking back. At what was once wasted and
now those depths and beauty his pen and sword both too oft clearly lack.-RJL
