Poem Title:
Poem
Time ticked until the stroke of ten before descending its wrath on men And at that hour it escaped its cage Pendulum chiming with total rage Humans are in chaos as they await time to restart. In its hands, their fate Does this mean heartache will not heal until once more bells ring out in peal? Ongoing wars, a pandemic to battle Earth warming; earthquakes that rattle Everything seems to be in such upheaval We need relief from these days of evil Woe to those with little hope and belief who see only doom and wallow in grief who no longer have faith in their vision and chide others with scorn and derision Don't condemn a country or it's leaders after having four years of bottom feeders Humans are imperfect. We're all flawed but you hold a gun in the firing squad You write of patriotism, but have none wielding your pen as if it were a loaded gun You roughshod America with seditious words like mad cows running in stampeding herds Remember, "Time and tide wait for no man,"* Tragedy has struck those living in Afghanistan Blame Biden, but include Presidents in the past so reprimand them, too when you lambaste Time has no power to stop of its own accord Its hands keep moving and will not be ignored The world has problems that must be rectified by the coalition of nations it will be allied Call me a dreamer. "It'll never happen," you say that may be a reverie, but come what may When the times comes God will raise His hand and at that time, the world will understand. *Geoffrey Chaucer
