Glory to Come

Let us hope for a better future...

                          “GLORY TO COME”


 


The smallness of life – how long will it be – I hope not too…


Expecting the worst may champion the best


There is no joinder of excellence with filth


But it goes about with faith that no arms are needed to


grasp the idea of light


Ceremonies of forthright vigor, all responding to honorary bigotry.


Anniversary halls are laden with guilt


And enured in pity


Except for dominance physically no one is exempt from torture


If not bodily, then mentally


How come the theory of broadcast civility is endowed in our lifetime?


Why not a later breed?


If we could only realize what’s happening to man –


Perhaps some good may come of reality


But it’s doubtful that greed will be buried


In fact--ridden deeds by conscientious individuals


Who are these aborigines of longevity?


Perhaps cryogenic remains will authenticate a reasonably noble future race!


With all graceful arguments, we hope…


                                                                (ed)

wow lots of great metaphors, just make the poem gender inclusive, ie what is happening to humanity. loved:
no arms are needed to
grasp the idea of light
honorary bigotry.
Anniversary halls are laden with guilt
And enured in pity
Except for dominance physically no one is exempt from torture
