2019.12 Ragnarok

These past few years have been a call to rage
As heroes topple, villains drag us down. 
We’ve never known a more confusing age,
So it seems fit to watch as clowns are crowned.

We’ve learned that no-one’s absolutely pure
And balance is the key to keeping sane.
We know full well there’s worse we could endure
But we must forge ahead despite the pain.

The ones who came before us barely paid,
Their greed put older gods to outright shame,
And those who watch us know the ways we’ve failed;
The price for those to come won’t be the same.

So we must give them heed and join their fight,
And not go silent into that cold night.

  1. I like this poem.
    Tight structure but rhythmic and open-ended.
