Days of Rage!

In our days of rage the world’s ablaze, with anger’s fire, We’re utterly stuck, in tempestuous muck and quagmire. Lives were simple, and laughs easy, in the good ole days, Thru endless summers and bar-b-ques, folk came of age. There is a new age with clenched fists and voices aloud, Marching with cruel intent, a menacing, seething crowd. Inequality, injustice, and exclusion fuels the burning ire, Power puts asunder the powerless’s bid to climb higher. Powers corrupt, but let us never forget, the power of peace, Let’s embrace our better angles; in unity, our conflicts cease. In these days of rage, we must engage, live by a golden rule, If we can’t live together as one, we will all die apart as fools. Though anger and vitriol may be a force for us to reckoned, Charity and mutual understanding are what truly beckoned. An epilogue pending; in the days of rage, let’s turn the page, And build a kinder world, where virtue unfeigned is waged.
