Nowhere FastA Poem by Fran MarieGone are the days when life was simple and pleasant. When neighbors sat on front porches sipping sweet tea and lemonade on hot summer days,recalling memories and spinning yarns with smiles upon their faces as bright as the afternoon sun itself. Gone are the times when life seemed so clear, understanding more or less who people were and what they stood for with a strong voice in the matter. Gone are those same voices which sang life's sweet song in melodic harmony sharing in their fellowman's hardships,happiness,failures and fortunes Now our lonely souls have grown distant,unfriendly;building fences and reaping confusion. Now we exist to satisfy our own selfish greed. People pretending to care with words that do not match actions each one putting themselves first in a cold- gray world going nowhere fast © 2009 Fran MarieReviews
