The Pendulum Swings

The pendulum slices an arc
Through time and space
Swerving as a guide post
To the whole human race
This arc measures behavior,
Human nature and social trends
An arc of generations gone by
History repeats, yet so difficult to decide
We may intersect this pedulum
At any point in time
An arc tracing a reoccurring event in history;
A study of different generations in mind
Most noticeable trends over controversial issues
That contains turmoil and division
The poll of public opinion
Vacillates over time
What's right today
May be wrong tomorrow
Question is where do myself I find
What are my beliefs at this point in time

| i thought your beginning was most excellent. your concept well done. history is a great teacher, but the pupils do not want to listen! i did find your ending good concept wise, but it was a bit awkwardly worded when i read it compared to the rest of the poem. very impressing poem, will, as always. |

Sorry, but my favorite line is "We may intersect this pedulum At any point in time". Meaning that history can be changed from what was before. The lessons learned from life should stop us from repeating the same mistakes eternally. Do no one see we are repeating the same destructive manners that caused turmoil in our ancestors times? War,other than being fought with different weapons, is still war and had we learned our lessons would not be repeated ever again. This is an excellent piece of thought and work.

How did this one slip by me??
Wonderful first stanza that really drew me in, and some great lines leading up to an appropriate ending. A couple faves:
"We may intersect this pendulum
At any point in time"
AND...
"The poll of public opinion
Vacillates over time"
Nice! Very nice!!
