R J. Elless Poet Free verse

Aren'T We

In a dither for a dollar
Monies are being squandered
The pox is upon us
Taxes are ponderous
Stuffed shirts are foolish
Peace yet eluded us
The world gets Denuded.
We're living in the space age
Can't eliminate war and hate.
These hard truths we face
We are a better human race.
Are'nt  We.?

R J. Elless October 31, 2023 at 7:50 AM Yes, the times have changed drastically or radically. My uncles fought fought the Nazis. How soon they forget not me. It is a rethoical poem hence the question makk. God bless you and yours, PagieXX. By the by, I agree we are not. Yet the question remind Why aren't we?. Disgusting.

Panagiota Romios October 30, 2023 at 11:09 AM No, we are not a better human race. Almost every country wants a second Holocaust The murder of whole families. The idiots marching here calling for death of Jews? I no longer consider this a fun or safe world. Your poem was about a time that seems very long ago. Part of me died that day, Panagiota
