Poem 104: Let no petal Bruce Goodman © 3 May 2021 |

Please recall when times were cloudless; Then flowers of laughter strewed the way. Let no petal fall in darkness. Governments scream in rabid blindness: This is how you’ll die today. Please recall when times were cloudless. Dying grandma faces vastness; All alone she strives to pray. Let no petal fall in darkness. Parents, children, spouses - cheerless; No held hands; no words to say. Please recall when times were cloudless. A little child knows no kindness; Face the music come what may. Let no petal fall in darkness. Uncared for corpses, lifeless, worthless; Governor’s greatness, no dismay. Please recall when times were cloudless. Let no petal fall in darkness. |
