salutation - Popular Poems and stories from category

O generation of the thoroughly smug      and thoroughly uncomfortable,
I have seen fishermen picnicking in the sun,
I have seen them with untidy families,
I have seen their smiles full of teeth      and heard ungainly laughter

Men say the world is full of fear and hate,
And all life's ripening harvest-fields
The restless sickle of relentless fate
But I, sweet Soul, rejoice that I was born,
