Set A Sentence Poem by Sean Green

Set A Sentence



If the future was more kind
without misfortune few deny
perhaps the fear would be removed
from procreation of blessed broods

the call to family some resist
is the outcome of that persists
when grandparents have condemned
the world resulting from their sins

inheritance should be boon
instead the cliff clearly looms
the edge within sight of all
only dooms the tender ones

the elders who will fall away
are the ones that had betrayed
now future parents hesitate
to set a sentence of doomed fate.

Nice poem. A clear message too. But rarely grand parents are irresponsible. 'the elders who will fall away are the ones that had betrayed now future parents hesitate to set a sentence of doomed fate...is a nice stanza. Thanks for posting.
