On the cover
of those old black hymnbooks
in those old dark churches
you can just about read
'Hymns Ancient and Modern'
As time goes by,
'ancient' gets a longer and longer history
and curiously so too
does 'modern'

Quite a futuristic view on this timely dilemna. All will be revealed in the credits of Rocky XXiv

Michael you are so right but I cannot go through life not writing about what I see and hear. each persons talent is their own creative work wherever it be calassical or comtempary, but you have a good point here.I found your poem a masterpiece as it stands, and a wise one too.Cheers Sylvie
