Speak not to me of seasons's change, Or how progress does rearrange, This world in which we all must live, With so much take, so little give, Where truth's become a thing so strange,
Integrity's becoming lost, Tell me is it worth the cost? Tis something no one wants to guage, Speak not to me,
Unless we wish to turn the page, Stop shouting down the guiding sage, Whose wisdom we strain through a sieve, Our past mistakes we will relive, If you say we're not a failing age, Speak not to me.
Brian Paul Sullivan 2023

Enjoyed these lines:
"With so much take, so little give, Where truth's become a thing so strange"
"Unless we wish to turn the page, Stop shouting down the guiding sage, Whose wisdom we strain through a sieve, Our past mistakes we will relive"
I am always hopeful as far as turning the page. Enjoyed reading, Brian.

Bian, this is an anthem for our era. Indeed the sly insinuation of our evolving time strikes a chord of lost virtues of humanity. A truly profound poem that touches on the key changes in our families and friendship circles.

A long and colorful saga of times we've lived, reduced to a few perfect words. Great write, Brian.

Quite the powerful write with a strong, strong voice that so desperately needs to be heard in this society. Very well done. If it were up to me this would be a required read for all today.

True words, but there is always hope.
