Our Twilight Years-Sonnet Poem by Joseph Anderson
Our Twilight Years-Sonnet
For decades past our land was glory bound,
We strode into our future, free of fears;
But pride and hope and joy have run aground
And fear strides through our dreams for future years.
Illegals cross our shores, on our fruits feed,
As drugs spread rampant through our streets of vice;
We've closed the path to jobs our workers need
And climate change brings storms and melting ice.
Our social, sexual mores have run astray;
We soiled the lands of nature and our Lord
And wars for peace abroad abound today.
We're governed by a team in full discord.
As we move onward through these twilight years,
O! Guards of fate, speak now, allay these fears.
Great poem Joseph. We too, here in England (& Europe in general) , are governed by teams in full discord.
Your writing continues to impress, and inspire! Write-on my friend, your words ring ever true.
Yes, Times have changed! Every where people live in the clutch of fear and uncertainity! Man turns against man and Nature takes her toll! We look forward to more poems from you, Sir! I am sorry my poem Cancer ward has disturbed you! I sincerely wish you health and happiness!
This is a true eyeopener of the critical times in which we live. God help us to return to the beaten path. Thanks Joseph..
Wow simply awesome. I enjoyed reading your wonderful poetry. You are a great poet
You are far from semi literate as your bio suggests. Your words are profound and beautiful. I just love Thomas A Robinson too: -)
G ood poem with great insight. This seems prophetic. I like the imageries.
This is an excellent poem that most of us can relate to. Thank you for expressing the truth of it all, and may God help us recover what once was so very beautiful. I think this is a look at how it has been wrecked by man, and probably will continue, until we reach final disaster Loved this poem.
