IN DAYS TO COME

Michael Edwards

 

 

IN DAYS TO COME

 

 

In bars where jobless elbows lean

eyes red with fears of yesterday

and cheeks still wet with tears once shed

upon this wounded earth of ours

beneath the dark bruised skies

in days to come.

    Very telling write Michael, so many people of working age may well be struggling in the very near future.

      I dread to think of the hardship that will be left in the pandemic's wake.

      We can't escape the 'system', or else it would be one rule for some, and another rule for others.
      But it's still horrible - job-searching; a label of 'unemployed'.

      Miss Berles ever unemployed? She has to constantly check the sylla berles!

      • Michael Edwards

        She's always busy - today she's dusting the sylables and tomorrow she'll be consonently busy.

        Hard days in the future await as your poem says Michael. Wounded the earth is indeed.

          So easy to get down - but heigh - excitement this afternoon - off to get our 'click and collect' - a drive through the countryside alive with clouds of cow parsley and swathed in sunlight.

            I'd love to capture the expression on their faces and learn the words that caused them.
            Only man can come to man's aid.
            Thank you for your words.
