A Couplet of the Times
A Couplet Of The Times

We now are living/existing in unprecedented times,
streets filled with looters and unchecked crimes.
Activist’s destroy statues that they deem offensive,
and this inevitably leads to a counteroffensive.
Covid-19 and protests are taking their toll,
and racism is on the tongue of each wretched soul.
Lost jobs and businesses are weekly being closed,
and things are much worse than most presupposed.
Our inability to stop time from destroying our wealth,
has an adverse effect on our mental health.
Evil minded people won’t allow hate’s improvement,
and daily some loud mouth starts another movement.
It seems that in this life we’ll never see peace,*
“cause the wheel that squeaks the loudest, always gets the grease”
*1 Thessalonians 5:3(KJV)
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
