Thank You, Vince

Man has come a long way A man named Vince schooled my consolation When amidst the ruin could not shake the desolation Of things just falling away But it is only a small step My brother, Suzerdail, the giant leap was retrogression There are miles and miles to go to find this satisfaction So long we creep towards the step We savages of a noble race We kingdom builders in the rubble of hate In each man's doom I seal my own fate We splattering disgrace So right you are, my friend Yet I would surrender all my rights for it to cease This injustice, this poverty that sets our static crease This limit on the hope of men. We who are kindred here Let us band, no more to folly shall our talents bow But let us for mankind deal tyranny a death blow And men shall our pen revere

David, this is a wonderful tribute to Vince! Have you let him know you posted it. Vince is a man of fine moral character and strong beliefs. It sounds like you and he could lead our world to a better place. And there are many who would follow this type of leadership. Excellent poem, my friend. Still playing catch up. Love, Carolyn
