Indictment


A Poem by Twilight
"
A poem which is an "indictment" of various aspects of modern society. And, they seem to be getting worse....
"

So long as it's in the news,

many people remain amused,

so many crave the headlines,

whilst neglecting moral guidelines,

 

Soundbites and spin,

will the truth ever win?

embrace not fear the future,

despite modern culture,

 

It's not too late to change,

the future is not pre-ordained,

don't lose your hope yet,

but fear the socialist threat,

 

We need a moral code,

not celebrities' fake abode,

bureaucracy can be stopped,

the quangos should be quoshed,

burn the midnight oil,

with fine literary soil,

 

Respect the pro-life crowd,

the truth should not be cowd,

don't trust the humanists,

pagans or scoialists,

 

Christianity is not insanity,

who REALLY respects profanity?

 

Embrace freedom's name,

free spirits should not be tamed,

"free thinking for the world".

Featured Review

A well executed poem filled with great questions and truths.
I went back to see which section stood out to me most but I couldn't just pick one part. *smile*
You've really put into light many of the issues that society is struggling with, if not already lost.
We must continue to do our part and pray that one day others will reclaim their "neglected moral guidelines". For their sake, and their world's.
