Poem
If I had lived yesterday in that chaotic world echoing of Gatling guns shots and canon blasts, I would have made a difference: hate and prejudice would have not prevailed, and power wouldn't have been abused; from History's records, we know that even when Jesus lived it wasn't that peaceful! During the American Civil war, Northerners fought Southerners... did they hear Scarlet's desperation, or the moaning of her loss as war went on? And for sometime, it had become a modus vivendi she couldn't change. Let's return to the stark reality of the present: have we noted some drastic changes in Government and social behavior? Yes, it has given us more liberty, but another war has shattered many hopes of ever seeing peace as blood continues to be shed... while nations arm themselves to their teeth! How can we welcome those winds of change and feel safe, if we tell our children that danger still exists? And has society been kinder and more caring? Obscenity, teen sex, violence, greed, vulgarity and exploited sexuality are being condoned by many; we wouldn't be that cool if we didn't use obscene words, and worst of all, we are called hermits or asexual if we abstain from sex to prevent those sexual diseases! Is this rebellion, or a trend of the new generation? Having unprotected sex, making babies, laying the burden on their Government that's fighting a terrorist war? Do we seen any future for these lost kids who imitate the habits of their parents? Blame them? Ah! Lots of things would be changed, if they turned to God and ask for His guidance! And to end my visceral narrative, I shamefully confess, " I hate to live in this loathsome age of greed!"
