Sign of the Times

Seated at the table the crow In the grey gown the lark beside it Green leaves mostly matted No summer in the wintry silence Oxygen meagre in the lungs Flowers of the heart die unnoticed Twitter and WhatsApp world rejoice Hollow sounds of the heart grieve Evenings devoid of the moon and stars Time of the brown sugar time of the robots Inquiet wine cups in the air Mornings seldom visit the eyes Entropic inflammation of the civilization Systemic surgery needed _______________________________________ For Sign of the times - Poetry Contest Sponsored by: John Hamilton
