Complacent Desires

Courage and boldness we have forgotten in these days. Our ancestors had only future expectations to live for. Maybe, we have slaughtered the ideas; they had in a way. People relaxed and comfortable, nothing new in store, Laziness of no dreams or desires; we have it all today. Anxious not for any changes, let us keep it the same. Centuries of ruins would not exist, if they had no fire. Expressing nothing that we have now, without a game, Now think; where we would be, without their simple desire, Trapped with no mechanics, science, or exploration aim, Dreams are what made us, this so-called great nation. Everyone wants to fight progress, save the past notion. Salvation of our ancestor’s greatness is in information. I want to preserve historic ideas, creations in contemplation. Relics, continued treasure, do not forget about expansion. Events from the past show we are full of personification. Secure the now, and then stand firm for forward motion.

Nice use of the acrostic form for a thought provoking poem. I think people being complacent for too long has gotten us into this mess. We've let the politicians run the show. It's good to see people rising up and taking a stand again. Keep on writing! Karen

God made two types of people. the slaves and the free. it takes a special type of person to be free; one that will fight for it. but for every person striving to be free; there is one trying to keep him enslaved. but moving forward from slavery to freedom means equality. and you know that they cant stand equality. jhl
