POEM: When I Grow Old. by chronos: 9:43pm On Apr 12, 2016 |
When I grow old Upon a deserted isle shall I trudge Haunted by the souls of sailors and pirates Long gone and forgotten The echoes of their shrill cries Ricochets off the steely winds Sending unending chill Down my feeble spine But this is where I'd rather be Away from man; His senseless wars and illusion of love Oh love,thy chaste violated by savages Left to rot upon the plains of venice Banished to memories distant Wilted flowers and fallen children Littered upon the streets of Damascus Fallen mosques and rising tanks Man and arms united in symphonic melody Together they play the notes of war Oh choristers of death! In my basement,I weep On windy nights near the fireplace I weep for humanity Its clairvoyance or lack of Its ignorance shimmering like burnished bronze Oh the pettiness of man! |
