A curse on society

So many of us are feeling blue,
Because we do not know what to do
The world we all live in every day
It has gone askew and lost its way,
Away from all that we once knew
Faith, Sincerity, and integrity, to name a few
Of the necessities of life,
That helps to fend off trouble and strife.
Where have common sense and reason gone?
That makes many feel lost and alone.
Why do some feel a need to fight?
Is there no other way for the warriors
To see the light
And realise that making war makes matters worse
Which is a constant curse on our society.

Oh, perhaps it's the reinvention of the 'generation gap' that my generation -- I'm a boomer -- invented, much to its everlasting chagrin. ~ Gershon, a member of the Most Narcissistic Generation Ever (the Boomers).

Your poem today really tells it like it is, Shirley. It resonates with me and my soul. Life is harder than it needs to be. Smiles ~ Blessings Bill
