Dr. Robert Ippaso Poet Rhyme

Has Our World Gone Mad

I’m confused 
At times bemused
By the turn society’s taking,
Sexuality so complex
Gender needing further context
All my preconceptions breaking.

Are cows good
On this we brood
Carbon footprint the new quandary,
Should we fly
Or cycling try
A simpler world I recall fondly.

Left or Right
The current fight
Politicians all grandstanding,
Little caring
Overbearing
Of our hearts and minds demanding.

To take part
Is quite an art
Every word now needing measure,
Opinions rue
So fast to sue
No surprise the past I treasure.

James Inman May 7, 2020 at 8:34 AM Interesting and nostalgic write Robert, but I wonder if the world has actually changed. I sometimes wish we could go back to a simpler time, then I realize my reality back then was not the reality for so many others who were simply trying to be happy and live their own reality while society in many ways persecuted them for who they are. I'll accept the added complexity if it means they can find their own happiness. Nice write, made me think.
