An End of the Age of Innocence Part Ii

At one time it meant something when a gentleman would hold open the door.., Today in our society we don't want that thing anymore.., Yet before your date goes into the building, Have her go ahead of you, That is what my dear old grandma would oft' say ! No given need by which to hide and pretend.., For the anti- Christ that you speak of is already here, He both linger's to and fro ! Yet one can't find him by starring out their window ? Trying not to get crushed out of the hidden under toe.., There is something else I think you ought to know, This is the end of the age of innocence ! For hate is in full force ! There are no white flags with retreat on them.., Still a winner is just another loser that gets up and gives it one last try ! Now you all should be very happy to meet ! A true source of freedom that came to us some time ago, Was spit upon along with a tormented crucifixion ! As if this man was nothing ! Yet that nothing of a man still lives on today ! To live among his children who oft' give, A little love to toe who are hurting.., Bringing about solace and peace ! For many there be who will reap what they sow.., This shouldn't come at a big surprise ! Keep look in ahead at that hero's eyes !

Reap as you sow plain as a narrow row can speak. Yet God has received the blame for all the bad that happens, in some minds carnal. HAPPY NEW YEAR. Sincerely, Moses
