Old Gold

Are they now here, the old golden days? Are they still in mem, days well modeled? A day I see now, those deeds weren’t When what the story, I hear was starved A day now what, a cock breaks eggs A cock drinks York, for hen to hutch A day now what, sputum taste delicace What I hear is this, heartbreak no match Plants we water to flower, even before time What the best we make, seven a week we break The worst out we make, even for just a make out What I hear is this, even the wise a speck A time for best declare, uphold old good past An old meant for all, civilization virtue downcast Above all don’t stare, at your world turndown Reverse the story, borrow your past

We are selfish, and we are turning the earth black, and we are the most dangerous animal. Thank you for the reminder in verse.

It is refreshing to see true feelings spilled out onto the pages with so much vulnerability. It is a majorly great step to push evil out of your life, even if it is difficult as part of the evil may come from your own siblings. I applaud you, and my muse is clapping too.

I have heard the word poetic before, but do not think I have ever used it before now. This poem is poetic, Elicia. I wish a rose could hold a family together for the children's sakes.
