A TIME FOR EVERYONE


There was a time
Not long ago
Where roses grew
And snowflakes fell

Where sunbeams sang
With the morning gloom
Whilst aspired poets
With inspiration crooned

Yes, there was a time
For everyone

For poets
For painters
For leaders
For followers

For soldiers
For peasants
For kings
For queens

If I should
Be overly wise
I shall remember
Every time

A person scolds
Laughs
Points fingers
At my indifference

That mere centuries ago
A kindred soul
Felt my pain
Someone suffered the same
