Globalization

These days move quickly second upon second eating away the innocence of youth! Spring gives hope, summer the bloom develops a path to choose. Autumn realism and regret, winter stagnates steers one’s mentality to hazy days in limbo. Waves of tears, a conscious to cast out, doubts and more doubts before the bridge to cross. Turbulence screams out, many meaningless words woven in sentiment, washed away in rapids of unseemly conformity, column after column of political opinion in constant bombardment of promise, each and every oppressor on their media trip, a saturation of nebulous speech, all without direction! Life ne’er simple, the human race on the wane, to dance amidst the sunbeams that dazzle honesty and respect. Yet hours of artless suffuse, never to wash the ghetto from one’s mind, never to live without pain, all that hatred, all that waste, wrapped up in one’s culture! © Harry J Horsman 2002

Harry, it was so interesting to see this one after what you just told me from reading my poem wishing for world peace. I think I will be coming back to your older poems too when I don't see new stuff of yours posted. BTW, Please ignore my stupid haiku I just posted. the contest was extremely limiting. We could not use our "ideas" or figurative language, just show a picture of something and there were too many "rules" going against me writing anything good!! bye now, andrea

such good words+ insight, a very usefull use of words, it would be better to enjoy life rather than deride its true value. and inventing false ones. enjoyed this Harry.
