The Peace We Should Have Had

Moral decay comes from man's godlessness Like tendrils slowly choking a country. Man's pride and arrogance, his ruthlessness All bring about the chains of anarchy. A blinded people turns away from God And what is right and wrong they fail to see, They don't know He's the Peace we should have had. Cynhia Buhain-Baello~~~09.24.16 (Rhyme royal -poem with 7 lines in iambic pentameter rhyme scheme could be abab/bcc or abab/cbc (a quatrain and a tercet) or a tercet and two couplets - aba, bb, cc).

Very well written, Cynthia, and, sad to say, so true.
