Poem Artwork

The day of small delights

Of an everyman has gone;

For him, who now holds
 
The governmental office,
 
It is unreal to be happy
 
As he used to be earlier,
 
With might and main,
 
Living for the moment
 
And enjoying the beauty
 
Of each sunset and dawn
 
Without a stint. Impartially,
 
The questions of freedom
 
And safety are never free

Of charge in social hierarchy.

I like the way you are mixing things up recently, Alex, providing variety of rhythm and tone as well as insight. The verses in this poem, for example, have sharp barbs that scratch the surface without breaking its rhythm. Well done.
