James Fraser Poet Rhyme

High Hopes Again

Before we implode or reach cluster one
What do you want from me, as you humans dry run
We are Poles apart in what you and I do
Marooned you will be, if you don't turn to be true

I am only but a sphere, but your wearing the inside out
Our futures lost for words as we enter life's drought
There is time for dialogue to take it back
Will it be a great day for freedom, or will we enter our black

Around the table of powers we have to keep talking
We had high hopes when we stooped, we may cease to stop walking
It beggars belief that we are heading into strife
Maybe one day we'll acknowledge, that were coming back to life

Harry Horsman August 17, 2014 at 5:22 PM brilliant James, i wonder if the oldies (me) have a part to play any more, historic seems to be a dirty word to this generation James Fraser August 19, 2014 at 2:02 PM You certainly have a part to play Harry, and yes, History appears to be a forgotten word, and especially the Wars which if we didn't win, I doubt we'd be here to enjoy this terrific poetry site. By the way, this poem was written using the track titles to Pink Floyd's album, the 'Division Bell' <*> James :)
