Hi Arthur,
Very 'dark' poem with undertones that hint at maybe a lessons learned
for younger [not meant to be an ageist comment] folk to take note of.
Maybe some of the dark times are not so dark after all kind of
message.
Thoroughly enjoyed this tohught provoking piece.
Happy New Year Arthur,
Cheers
Ian
