Sign of the Times

S So where are we today? How do we gauge I in judging present-day sign of the times? G Go back in history, and one might wage... N no better off in terms of war and crimes. O Our time shows chaos on a global scale. F For our safe atmosphere...attend...or fail. T The paths to improve history, not paved. H Hungering power, still a vice, much craved. E End of Earth...pollution...death-engraved. T Technology improves our human skills... I in exchange, desensitizing hearts. M Maintaining life behind a tech screen kills E engagement that our face to face imparts. S Sign of the times...much fear in me, instills. Sandra M.

Thank you very much, Michelo, for your visit and very supportive comment. The last stanza of my poem supports the sentiments of your poem about 'touch screens'. I read your poem and commented on how great it is! Sandra

Nice acrostic, but a rather depressing outlook. I am glad to live now and not centuries ago. Good luck in the contest, Sandra.

Thank you, Agnes, for your visit and "nice acrostic." We are much better off in many ways, but I believe not so much in other ways...maybe I read and watch too much news!! Hugs, Sandra :(
