About the Poem
"Those who refuse to learn from history are condemned to repeat it". Those are truly wise words. Can we make a difference for the future? Perhaps - by being aware of the ramifications of the lessons we impart to our children. And praying that they, in turn, will do the same.
We Are The Light (a Sonnet) |
| by Nancy Ness |
| A world of hope in an expectant look, As multitudes' pedantic blinded eyes, In staunch refute of anecdotal book Ingeminate historic harrowed cries. Our children see with undefiled sense - Their hearts and minds novitiate, our charge. The future's cast of tenets' existence; The time is nigh, malignity to purge. Our ventures now each fledgling's discipline, Whence we endow, mankind's forever gained. Hereafter molds society's doctrine; Eternally our lessons lie ingrained Our vision now bestows the blind with sight. We are the world - its beacon and its light. |
