Great distance away

Great distance away

A Poem by Gerry Legister
"

looking at how far humanity has come in the last decade

"

Through many dangers toils and risky snares,
Humanity has come far from a great distance,
Mumbling and stumbling down cruel stairs
The adventures of youth taste the first race.

Pride arise from the ground bruised to the bone,
But not alone, making the mumbling sounds,
Natural toes, taping of lips to the head of crown,
Holds beauty refine that charms the souls it finds

Coming from where teenage goes ego celebrating,
On ice sledges meet the hoary snow with courage,
Torn and worn uniform of honor brightly shining,
Distinguish dress; finesse upon knees unites the age.

Men of renowned statue, society adorable women,
Stood on the world stage awards becoming of merit,
Having won many hearts through the years given,
Their time and talent unique achievement inherit.

Formidable Status role the carpet out in succession,
Hoist over their shoulders with heavy burdens carried,
Responsible emblem to serve the present generation,
And reap the fruits sown when young hearts tarried.

Now the stage is bare, dust melts through the glazed air
Only mute shadows stand gazing at confine memories,
Their spirit has gone faded back into the atmosphere,
Finds distant realm and start adventures in new stages.
