Rising away from the falling world Turn as one, as nobody At all, away To think and plan And possibly scheme To wait and see Better days and better worlds.
Very apt in these days of crumbling capitalist empires and a much nicer turn of phrase than “the rat leaving the sinking ship”. Your poetry is very positive – I’m enjoying it, keep writing!
“To think and plan And possibly scheme To wait and see Better days and better worlds”…..I really find this full of promise and very thought-provoking…The fact that us humans can scheme a better day and world is hopeful, and confirms that the power is truly in our hands.

Oh yes, and you should submit your pieces to On Youth
I think you should write out your “non-poetic” mind more often ;D
