Can't Break The Water Bearer

Can’t Break The Water Bearer

Among many stars both bold and true
Lights who shine upon glistening dew

Of early hour between night and day

Children of Aquarius have been known to play

Best intentions bricked mistaken roads to hell
We understand
You don’t have to yell

The mistakes of progress will always be made
But we weren’t the only players who played

We all hold roles
Some far too many
You expected water bearers to fix it all
And paid them a penny

Repairing damage foolish foes have brought
Leaving what doesn’t serve to rust and rot

Although they say it is our age
We’ve always been here

On the same page
We did our best when no one did
None of this should be left to a kid

It's good hearing from yoi again, author Kane Hagwood, I hope you're doing well and better these days. This poem you've made is very light-hearted one, with clear rhythm and concise speech, it makes this one a good read for me this late into the night. On that note, I am intrigued by both meaning of the poem but also... the tags. Is Squidward an Aquarius? Does that mean I have the same Zodiac sign as Squidward now?.. Interesting.

I'm glad to be back! I'm somewhat here--still adjusting after a rather large transition. Although things are far from perfect, I'm managing and making things work.

There were a handful of meanings, with the largest one being the current state of the world, and how we have a tendency to blame those "more capable" of cleaning up someone else's mess.This tends to fall on the younger generations, and perhaps always has. I mixed in some common tropes with Aquarius, which added to the flair of it.

Also, the tags.... I'm sorry, I really didn't think anybody would notice. It was late at night, and I was struggling to get everything uploaded. When it came time to add the tags, I told myself "this place is dead--nobody is using the tags"

I wanted to see if anybody would notice, and they did! Thank you for review! I'm wanting to go through and read what I've missed since I've been gone. Either way, it's good to be back, and it's wonderful to get a review from a good friend :)

Thank you, Leon!

(P.S. If I had to guess, I'd say Squidward's sun sign is Capricorn--that's my guess!)

This is one powerful write here especially your last two lines.
Awesome writing.

Humanity faces many challenges but acknowledging our mistakes is not something some world leaders are good at.

Interesting tags.

'Can't Break The Water Bearer'
Kane Hagwood,
This read like a cry to the life within don't forget me.' It seems like the effort of a soul to bring back what is broken and try to mend in this writing. You know no one else may notice but our inner being is aware, our conscious is aware. The last line was nice;
Although they say it is our age.
We've always been here
on the same page.'
Blessings to you.
Kathy

Thank you for your kindness, Kathy. You summed it up pretty well. And I could use all the blessings I can get at this point. It's nice to feel heard, and seen.
