Sands of Time
What do you do when you're so used to being disappointed that you no longer make plans?
After so many heartbreaks you become afraid to love, or even to hold hands.
I never imagined that faith or love could be destroyed so easily and so fast.
Marriages that were until death separated them now no longer last.
A person cannot look up, nor down, but instead, just looks straight ahead.
Most people that go missing these days, are either lost forever, or found dead.
There are no more happy endings, only troubled, or sad.
All of the good that at one time existed, have been replaced with bad.
Maybe the younger generations will change the outcome of our story.
Instead of falling down into anguish, we will all rise up in glory.
About this poem
I was inspired to write this poem because I believe that the newer generations are going to be our only saviors. The world is slowly being destroyed and the older generation are not doing anything to change it or make it any better.
