Poem
Ode to what’s been lost Discarded Protocols and broken treaties that were of our past what things we’ve lost and might not gain again why no one spoke or took refrain We had come so far to keep us sane we had a compass to keep us steady to make it clear what’s right and wrong why or how we’ve turned away I do not know but hurts us so What made us great and stand so tall this was known to all but now we’ve changed and lost our way from black abyss behind its summit peak tortured in the name of terror behind a dying flame who we are and how we’ve changed this must come at last We must decide and hold our egos pride we must ask what were going to be men of Sparta and of war or democracy freedom and law Words can loose their meaning and shrivel up and die when there turned upside down reframed for plunder destruction and fear how can we be clear I saw her columns crumble Corinth and Doric a little of the world was lost its heart light beats low and saddened nights in somber days of grey In spirit they beheld though grief and joys were few to go against the wind of times blinded by the sun or in the spirit they beheld will memory fade away or set a new of a destiny yet seen We have experienced a lot in a short period of time. to consolidate meaning from experiences and be open to finding our way, try to be objective and critical. truthful to feelings within oneself and expressing them . to share them with others can I hope be healing
