Poem: When Did Our World Turn From Butter To Sour Grapes??? by lordthunderbolt(m): 4:47pm On Jun 01, 2015 |
I tried to wriggle free from mediocrity The laziness of alacrity The routine retinue of celebrity The sweet aloof of celibacy The world continued continuity Nations have fought spontaneity In those struggles for ''liberty'' Nations have rejected paternity Children in shortage of responsibility Men now tilt to inanimate objectivity! Values are now regarded as specularity What happened to our world's humanity? Who damaged our morality? What happened to soberness and humility? Everywhere stinks of hostility Hatred is viewed with cerebral objectivity Strife is celebrated in ethnicity Change our world of iron profanity Let's milk it down to the podium of pity Make it meek...This is our only city Our only home...Our only city |
