Notes About The Poem

8/28/2025 for Darkside of Aquarius Poetry Contest sponsored by Robert James Liguori

Darkside of Aquarius

When, as a child, the aquarian age did dawn.
Good vibrations were its joyful, loving spawn.
The world was ignited by a peaceful spark. 
But did this age also bring us something dark?
And are our lives ruled by stars up in the sky
or by the true convictions of you and I?
I wonder if we are not to blind to see
that the darkness emanates from you and me.

Very interesting. Are we going in the wrong direction then? Good luck with the contest.

Thanks, Hilda! In some ways, it seems that way, but then again, the only thing one can depend on is change.
