It has been a while since I last posted anything. Here is a sonnet.
England 11 |
Once cricket, today violence reigns o’er sport, |
Then modesty, tonight youth bare thy flesh |
There, value of intelligence was taught |
Your generation mean to start afresh |
You crave and long for your fame and fortune, |
Work not hard nor respect the trodden path |
Instead expect, demand, it all too soon |
‘Give me thy all else receive my wretch’d wrath’ |
Angry flames engulf my favoured cities |
Eloquently protesting without aim |
You sit, judge, sit, consume and spread disease |
Bank accounts and bellies fatten. No shame. |
If only you could plump instead your minds |
Not follow, but question, open my blinds |
