Merely Words

A life once lived
A dream I won/'/t forgive
Shadows of doubt
While many others did without
Echoed sentiments left to explore
Those that made them
Live no more
Merely words
Some you may have heard
Still remain only to disturb
Research the whispers of the golden days
Clouded in mystery
Truth and lies have departed their ways
Destiny designed by you and I
Will it stand the test of time
Our voices have been mimed
Presented without rhythm or rhyme
Revel in your uneducated ways
Live your life in a complicated maze
The rays of the sun
Prove the Lord/'/s work
Shall be done
Yesterday was our future
Will misery and disdain
Haunt the very few days
That still remain

So well said! In your summary, I hear the tribute by a generation whose lifestyle is giving way to progress. Memories fondly cradled in the heart; drizzled with anguish for the loss of all we know, and the arrogance of our successors.
WILL MISERY AND DISTAIN HAUNT THE VERY FEW DAYS THAT STILL REMAIN?
Only if we choose to resent a future that doesn/'/t belong to us, in those very few days.

This is awesome, Jim. Thought provoking, well-worded, almost flawless rhyme scheme. You worked your butt off on this one and it shows!! Two thumbs up.

// "Merely words" can sure be powerful as is displayed with this poem.
A lot of these words evoke thought, therefore turning merely words into powerful words.
Thank you.
