The Year Is Closing Fast

the year is closing fast

will I have written 
all the words
allotted to this time,
have attempted 
to engage my mind 
in all the questions asked?
as poet it is my duty
to be cryer for this place 
point towards the fallacies 
that mar the human race:
yet  lay our greatness 
before hopeless eyes 
and share the tales 
that keep us whole and wise.
to illuminate 
the small but powerful love
that everyday does challenge to our foe
have I done justice to the talent 
the answer yes and no.

Fair to middling dear sister. There are many things to tackle but I seem to tire more readily of late. You have been so supportive you will never know thank you.
