Old father timeA Poem by threelittlebirds in my English class we had to write poems on world war one, life in the trenches. this is what I have so far. a bit gloomy I guess but it is what it is. Old father time beats us down Stealing our hope, stealing our crown Taking its place is a hopeless frown Old father time �" We curse our arrogance Sitting in a decrepit classroom Old father time teaches us of doom We sit here, waiting for death It creeps up on us with baited breath Old father time �" We curse the war Like a headstrong ship, sinking without grace Uncharted waters, bleak to its face Arrogance takes his stride That fatherly taker of fools Old father time �" We curse our fate © 2010 threelittlebirdsAuthor's Note
