In the year

Of our Lord

Two thousand

Morality

Is again

The new wilderness

Least conquered by men

Enjoyed this one for its symmetry and its message simply put in the middle.

Thanks, Rutherford. I actually had written eight more stanzas but the middle here kept speaking so loud I scraped the rest in order not muddled up the power of it.

There is an old indian verse which says.."whenever there is decay of morality god manifests in human form and reinstates its supremacy...and it goes in cycle"...hope and wish we are lucky enough to see the reinstatement of rule of morality within our lifetime.

In my faith we call it the pride and repentance circle.

Very true...morality is slipping away...and so was it in the yar 1013...

[Michael G. Smith]

They probably wrote a poem about back then, be it was most likely upon a wall somewhere.

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

Totally loved the cadence and the structure. This is definitely different from your other pieces, Mike. You seem to be a very flexible writer, indeed. Well-penned! :x

[Michael G. Smith]

Thanks Blue I just write what the mind and soul dictate at the time.

Morality - the final frontier... maybe we'll figure it out by 2113... Great pondering here, Mike.

[Michael G. Smith]

Thanks Rita, also to you have a wonderful coming week.

Great read! :)
I especially liked that family rhyme and how it makes you pronounce "men" into what sounds like "mean"
Great write my friend, pen on! :)

[Michael G. Smith]

Thanks Mike. Have a great coming week. Take good care of that boy.
