The Death Of Civility Poem by David Paradine
The Death Of Civility
How did it happen
When did it occur
What caused this mutation
That we now must endure
Respect and courtesy
Once common now dead
Rudeness and disrespect
Ever present instead
So where do we go
And what do we do
To erase this scourge
How I wish I knew
Cause there once was a time
When decorum prevailed
When people were civil
Politeness hailed
Where resides the blame
Or are we all the cause
Through thoughtless actions
Never understanding the cost
Yes........in time. Then we can start all over again.....hopefully
I thought it was only a greek society's phenomenon! It seems it's worldwide.Well written
First of all Sir i read your name was reminded of David carradine. I think some leaders like Trump have been careless with words to the extent some people who harbored resentment towards others are openly showing it. I m sure it will boil over soon.
Believe it or not I have heard that before....................Thank you for your comment, Yes we have seemed to lost our ability to be kind and to respect one another.

Great lines nicely put together. An insightful bit of verse nicely embellished with poetic rhyme and rhythm.
