    The Time Has Come


    The time has come when children feast at their parents wedding
    When wards reject time honored words to go searching
    And adopt cultures with veracity still pending
    Picking and dropping friendships with a tenacity that is unending.

    The time has come when education is confusing
    When teachers are themselves perplexing
    Teaching with methods that are totally unconvincing
    And proffering solutions that are simply amazing.


    The time has come when credit is given for destroying
    And medals awarded to those whose call is killing
    Drenching the earth with blood in ways that are terrifying
    While we pretend that these things are to us horrifying.

    The time has come when there is fear in growing
    And even greater fear in aging and dying
    As we try even harder to stop from wilting
    Refusing to accept that nature is forever unrelenting

    The time has come when truth means nothing
    When we lie with sacred texts that used to mean something
    All to get things that leave us yet still craving
    Sharing no shade and no shame from the tilted awning.

    The time has come when dirges herald rites of christening
    When pyres precede people no good at pretending
    While leadership is the lot of those good at looting
    Overloading vaults that would astound those in banking.

    The time has come when merit is wasting
    And cheating is without compare most paying
    But this only for those in the knowing
    And those who realize that laws are for breaking.

    The time is coming....

    Thanks bro, for your kind words and best regards

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
