Matthew Anish Poet Free verse

The Last Gasp Ot the Twentieth Century

The twentieth century 
fades into memory 
  The wars, the holocausts, the roaring twenties, 
the Depression, and the 60's are becoming 
the stuff of legend 
The years continue to roll on 
     Bolshevism in retreat now 
Will there be a better day soon? 
Make up your mind powers that be!
     the masses are hoping
for sweet relief 
The story of the 1900's is done 
   Perhaps there are brighter days ahead 
   We must learn to live on hope!

Andrea Dietrich January 8, 2014 at 12:14 AM yes, we are still running on hope. IT's all we have, Matt. Good one, and yes, Jimmy died after Xmas in a car crash in Mexico. It really surprised me. He had just bought a fantastic house for his new bride and was gong to return to classes in January. Such a waste!!
