Daisies - a poem

Peder

Daisies

The daisies of the field grow and have their day,
then perish – most of them – without their chance
for lauds at their transitory beauty and existence.
But such metaphors are inadequate for the reality,
of a world gone upside-down where false-fact
replaces actual truth and urges human violence.

How will humanity ever improve when
the all-too-rare individuals, who have scaled the realms
of highest achievement against an all encompassing
tide of destructive ignorance, are plucked from among us,
unable to serve as enduring role models,
beacons for all to see? Where is humanity’s hope?

Will chaos ever be conquered?
Or must there be misery forever?
