Poem: “The Times They Are A Telling, Of What Lies In Store”

candle burning in the dark

The times they are a telling
Of what lies in store

As mothers refuse to wean
And infants no longer implore

The men speak in lies
And fallacies abound galore

The honest lay in ruins
Whilst the thugs revel in their gore

The upright toss and turn
While the ignorant in their bliss snore

I pray I live not to see
The pathos of man as he sinks ever more.
