Think deeply about this poem... and answer this, "Do you believe we are in the Dark Age or the Golden Age"

Question

Eleven, score years and a decade ago
Our nation sought to have no foe.
Yet this generation hath wrought
Untold wickedness which we have bought.
Our forefather’s mind: holy and pure
Yet we have become wholly obscure.

I commend u, since u never tire of writing down ur thoughts as most of us do at the notion of puttin pen to paper!!

p.s. I know i sound lazy coz i am but...admitting it is the first step, innit?

Answer 3

Your point, which is a good one, perhaps would be better made in prose. Your verse suffers from immaturity and emptiness, which undermines your very keen observation and turns it into, well, something not worth thinking about.

Which is the opposite of what you are attempting to do.
