The Order of the Day

The Order of the Day

Brutality is the order of the day
Weather we chant, march or pray

Selfishness is the order of the day
Rookies hog the ball messing up the play

Careless disregard is the order of the day
Quantity is kept and quality thrown away

Fear is the order of the day
Bigotry bred ignorance is a mainstay

When you take down the orders of the day
Quickly you notice the world’s still insane

Decide to continue existing on this plane
By hook or by book find a way to maintain

hm...Brutality, selfishness, careless disregard and fear are the order of the day...I don't know how others will read it but I read it with the nature of our everyday life woe and capture the picture of it. Great work

Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
