Friday Fiction Verse: 100 Word Challenge

Posted on Comments

by Smitty

Can the darkness devour the light?
And can falsehood vanquish truth?
And does forgiveness mean no fight,
To preserve our liberty for the youth?

From what source does leadership spring,
Direction to give, resolve to share,
At last tangible peace to bring,
And clear corrupted Commmie air?

For once upon a time a fool,
Hoodwinked the land, assuming power,
Or was this a diabolical tool?
What difference makes it at this hour?

If we don’t learn from the past,
And set about the right to do,
Electing REAL leadership at last,
Then the joke’s on me an you.

  1. “For once upon a time a fool,
    Hoodwinked the land, assuming power,
    Or was this a diabolical tool?    ”
    .
    I don’t know which is verse.

  3. Nice! I love it when you go verse. 🙂
    I almost didn’t put up a FF … I work for SanBerdo county and the Islamist atrocity is still making things surreal (my department’s headquarters is just a few blocks from the site and was on lockdown … Sheriff’s dept immediately deployed officers all over the county to hospitals, schools, county & state buildings)
    I’m heartsick for the families of those that died.
