Due to the unrest and uncertainty in the world as of July 2020, due to my personal unrest of the plague sweeping the world and the civil disobedience of the world, I wrote this poem to relieve my personal pressure and address those that think our society should be perfect or those that find something to complain about, always.
Generation Links
Each
generation shall have disdain
From
forefather’s societal and worldly stain.
They strive
to correct what was lain,
Suffering like bruises and scars in vain.
Each generation shall find unrest
Of
forefather’s topics they thought best;
Government, its
citizens, earthly goods,
Topics that
have power and are misunderstood.
Mankind will
fail its chase of perfection
As each generation
finds anew and rejection.
The foresight
of man is often unsound
Leaving grandeur
and regrets, historically bound.
Unfortunate
stories that, too often repeat
Are of wars,
crimes, and futile defeats,
Which often
stemmed from choices, unsweet.
Yet, each generation
corrects or completes.
The soul and
the heart can cry inside
And each
generation can say, “We tried,”
Correcting
the wrongs of prior prides,
Yet, leaving
the next finding divide.
