The 'Poem A Day' Project ~ Day 104 Poem by Flying Lemming

Is greatness behind us, is it all in the past
Is there anything or anyone that will forever last
As a figure of greatness, respected in history
Or have we reached a time of life lacking nobility
There hasn’t been a rival who comes close to Dickens
A Churchill to rouse the blood until the pulse quickens
No ‘Citizen Kane’ at the cinema, no Beatles in the charts
No on screen or on field legends to take away our hearts
What could be the reason, what has dulled our senses here
I don’t know, think I’ll watch TV and have a beer
