Bryn Strudwick Poet Sonnet

A Better Tomorrow

A BETTER TOMORROW

A summit of world leaders have agreed
Upon a plan for everlasting peace.
And all, without exception, signed a deed,
To ratify an international law.
So now, to narrow the racial divide,
There’s a new marriage law to put things right.
All partners must be from the other side.
Jew tied to Arab, black to marry white
All the religions must merge into one,
Accepting there’s just one God up above.
There will never be a need for a gun
In a world devoted to peace and love
    We can dream of life devoid of sorrow.
     Could there be a much better tomorrow?

John Hamilton September 28, 2020 at 8:45 AM An interesting conceptual write Bryn, it would have placed higher with proper rhyme scheme, but overall enjoyed the write, congrats on a nice placement!

Wendy Watson September 16, 2020 at 7:51 AM Real food for thought here Bryn and I always enjoy the rhythmic flow of your poetry. Did you intend to rhyme lines 2 and 4 though?
