BRIAN & ANGELA

IS IT THE BEST OF TIMES .... ? A 4 4 4 2 Sonnet

 

 

 

IS IT THE BEST OF TIMES ?

Most of the World is at Peace

Ladies have more opportunities than ever before

More people have access to Education & Health Care

 

IS IT THE WORST OF TIMES ?

Globally Nuclear Weapons are not contained

There is increasing Global Poverty & Malnutrition &

Pollution and Populations continue to rise !

 

It was a WINTER of despair ~ But

It is a SPRING of Hope ~ And

It can be a SUMMER of Light ~ Or

It could be an AUTUMN of Darkness ?

 

In essence we have EVERYTHING before us ~ But

Perhaps we have left NOTHING of VALUE behind us ?

 

Thanks for reading ~ comments welcome ~ love BRIAN XOX

 

Please don\'t infer from the Poem that I have

become a PESSIMIST ~ but I am a REALISTIC

OPTIMIST !  We live in a very Restless World 

Economically ~ Politically & Environmentally !

I am responsible (with others !) to keep my

Country (ENGLAND UK) stable and pollution

free etc ~ You have a responsibility for YOURS !
