Barbara Briggs Poet Rhyme

Civility Where Have You Gone

Civility where have you gone and why have you gone missing
Since you left, all I hear, is an awful lot of hissing
No matter how I try, to avoid, unpleasant situations
They pop up wherever I go; no longer aberrations
Times are hard, it’s very sad, what so many must endure
What will happen next, no one knows; it all seems so unsure
There are so few jobs for the young or old, or people in-between
The cost of living skyrocketing like nothing I have seen
Everywhere you look, there is so much, waste and destruction
And everyone’s, so tired of hearing, about all of the corruption
There’s much to deal with, that’s for sure, no wonder you went missing
Sometimes I feel like going missing too; I think I’ve started hissing
