long before the final war
when forests were still green
and the waters in the rivers
ran blue
there was an age of wisdom
when a sage made his debut
teaching people the right thing to do
he appeared before young and old
and those that were smart
soon did as they were told
he gave them laws to live by
stressing equality
but these laws they chose to defy
and the sage went back into the sky
and mankind discovered the horror of war
and nothing was the same anymore
We are like children, unwilling to listen to an adult that knows to outcome of our paths. Sad to say, but mankind never listens to the powers that be. Nice poem Dave. It got me thinking… as you can see.
