Jack Clark Poet Rhyme

Wrath

The guns expelled their thunder
Their smoke has long since gone
The blood-soaked ground they caused
The rain erased thereon

Survivors’ horrid memories
Breed reminiscent tears
Man-made causes of the conflict
Fade o’er ensuing years

The Madmen who create them
Are those who never fight
The Lives of those who died That Day
Lost their futures’ right

To parent future engineers
And doctors who’d find more cures
Or scientists’ future breakthroughs
So Mother Nature can endure.

So, still we adhere to Madmen who
Lead us down the path
To destiny’s inevitable finality:
Politically destructive wrath

Lindsay Laurie October 5, 2021 at 8:37 PM Hello Jack ... nice verse to recite, and tells a tale of those who have no conscience at all - thank you Jack - Lindsay Jack Clark October 26, 2021 at 11:40 AM Howdy, Lindsay! I have to tell you, 'tis you who has captured my attention with your writings! Not only that ... I've been receiving an education on Australian slang which is much appreciated. I think I've read "Billabong" entry a dozen or more times, and haven't finished enjoying my reads even yet. You've a gift of storytelling - and in verse! Thank you my "down-under" friend ... your writings are part and parcel of my required reading. Thank you, Mate! Jack Clark
