A time of darkness has come
there is no new golden age
just some scattered crumbs
people losing a day's wage
A time of darkness has come
fundamental foundations gone
where is the light of the sun
boundaries have been drawn
A time of darkness has come
trying to get through changes
what has the world become
power and bitter exchanges
A time of darkness has come
hearts are waiting on a miracle
threads of hope coming UN-done
in a world that seems UN-steerable
A time of darkness has come
lost souls are waiting on angels
what will be the future outcome
how to turn the proverbial tables
A time of darkness has come
where is the light to guide us
false promises, do not succumb
our future sits on the cusp
linking with What's Going On? The Dark

It is a time of darkness for sure. Getting darker all the time. I think the angels are going to have to rise up from the grassroots as we who believe in democracy find ourselves plunged into an autocracy. Such fine writing, Truedessa. Happy you linked this.

ReplyDeletethere is no new golden age" -- not for at least a 2 more years--and the miracle we're waiting for may not come either. It's dark times, I agree. And yet, working locally, we can build up the strength of liberals and conservatives who love democracy. Maybe they'll be able to redesign a democracy when our time comes. Thanks for this poem/lament!
Repetition of the line 'A time of darkness has come' makes the darkness palpable. Amidst all this I also love 'hearts are waiting on a miracle'.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, Truedessa. The golden age is gone, I fear, for good. We definitely do not know what the future outcome will be!
ReplyDeleteWell done, True. And unfortunately, spot on.
