This was the Pushcart-nominated poem from my first book "Cracked: Timeless Topics of Nature, Courage and Endurance" Mark Whitefield composed an original score for the poem which you can listen to on my home page.
Usury
Where are the roses as their fragrance wafts
over the pleasant earth? When we're
oppressed, the years carve small lines
at the corner of our mouth. Expect
nothing from the world's princes.
Rather, just paste your lips shut.
SILENCE IS GOLDEN AND IN MOST CASES(THOUGH NOT ALL) WILL TAKE US THROUGH MANY 'WISDOM FILLED' YEARS. WELL DONE AND THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS
