Our Finest Hours Have Passed

Rating: 5.0


My generation's finest hours have passed
Now, I am afraid we are too old to lead
For the most part, our time was a blast
My generation's finest hours have passed
Question is, how much longer can we last
Before the curtain rains down on our breed
My generation's finest hours have passed
Now, I am afraid we are too old to lead.

My generation's finest hours have passed
For the most part, our time was a blast
Question is, how much longer can we last
Before the curtain rains down on our breed
Now, I am afraid we are too old to lead
All we can do, perhaps, is plant a new seed.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Sylvia Frances Chan 13 August 2021

A well worded poem, but so sad and melancholic, during the moemnts we still exixt/ live, we can do still a very lot, Sir! BUT you created a fascinating poem that gets me pondering about my own life. Excellent poem, Sir! 5 Stars full
