Good Day World!
Every now and then I like to share my feeble attempts at writing poetry.
Today is one of those days.
My inspiration is Edvard Munch's famous painting - THE SCREAM
21st CENTURY SCREAM
Edvard Munch screamed in the 20th century
On the edge of sanity
horrified at the follies of man
throughout the land
If Munch were alive today
what would he say?
insanity and war still stalk mankind
on wisdom, there is no sign
Would he paint the 21st Century in pain?
another era with no gain?
or, would he be seduced by new science
and paint the latest kitchen appliance?
***
Time for me to walk on down the road...
