Hi, oldmonty,

I found your poetry at your request on the Newsfeed and thought to give it a go.

A beautiful, calm, and tranquil poem (ABCB scheme) from a veteran looking at his country and the world nowadays. Fighting his own demons from a previous war (I wonder what war(s)?) and not particularly liking what he sees.

The sign of the times, captured in rhyme, I love it. There is a natural flow, a good solid rhyme, and a topic that speaks to everyone with a decent mind.

The poet transcends his worldview to make this universal. A quality only the better poet possesses.

It speaks to me anyway, and I thank you for sharing.

Keep on writing, and take care.
