    Poignant Observation

    I remember a time
    When the sun used to shine
    Over me, and give me peace of mind
    But that time has long since faded

    I remember days
    Through a shrouded haze
    Life was simpler in many ways
    Before it left me jaded

    I look around to find these faces, sullen, sad
    So here's a toast to all the friends I used to have

    I remember when
    Days I used to spend
    Loving life without an end
    Now they've all but dissipated

    Being young, serene
    Seems a distant dream
    Thought we could do anything
    But our thoughts were overrated

    I look around to find these faces, sullen, sad
    So here's a toast to all the friends I used to have
    We are the fallout of a world that we don't understand
    Its plain and clear for all to see that we've been had.

    Sounds like the sign of the times but, we all grow and change so I'm still not sure if it was about change-loss of friends or just change that we didn't do that will bit us in the butt later. Nice poem.

    wow that is very well said Rainz

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
