Today

Today the grass is green and our society is mean

Life is short and love is sweet

So love awhile and live awhile

For tomorrow the sky darkens the grass browns

Love turns to hate and dismay

Life will cease to exist

So love and live for tomorrow

We die

I guess this is just to say

That this world of ours; is near too

It's Grand Finale

and

Soon it will come to pass, a giant atomic blast

Then this world of men, will be at it's end

A thought by Sinbad the Sailor Man

About the Author

Region, Country: U.S. A. Indiana, Valparaiso, USA

Favorite Poets: Robert Frost, Walt Whitman, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Carl Sandburg these I have read some And so Many More. I have no Favorite or any that I dislike. Whom I consider to be poets; of course there are many Dark and hateful souls, who would cry out and to I will lend an ear, but some. They just leave a awful taste in my heart that I can not bear to read twice. Let alone as many times I would do normally; as I must.
