Poem: When Did Our World Turn From Butter To Sour Grapes??? by lordthunderbolt(m): 4:47pm On Jun 01, 2015
I tried to wriggle free from mediocrity
The laziness of alacrity
The routine retinue of celebrity
The sweet aloof of celibacy
The world continued continuity
Nations have fought spontaneity
In those struggles for ''liberty''


Nations have rejected paternity
Children in shortage of responsibility
Men now tilt to inanimate objectivity!
Values are now regarded as specularity
What happened to our world's humanity?
Who damaged our morality?
What happened to soberness and humility?
Everywhere stinks of hostility
Hatred is viewed with cerebral objectivity
Strife is celebrated in ethnicity
Change our world of iron profanity
Let's milk it down to the podium of pity
Make it meek...This is our only city

Our only home...Our only city
