Enter the man <br /> <br />Oh endowed might of man’s great <br />Gesture <br />Through your eyes thou art the greatest <br />Creation <br />In troubled times thou hath believed that you <br />Art strongest <br />In thou own mind thy own thoughts betray <br />Thee <br /> <br />Enter the women <br /> <br />She destroys your hope of <br />Supremacy <br />She is you only hope of <br />Reconciliation <br />She of all creatures makes you <br />Feel small <br />The women is man’s greatest threat <br />But thou need them <br /> <br />Enter the Children <br /> <br />They art devils to your grand design <br />Money spending <br />These art the destroyers of marriage <br />Interrupting Private Sessions <br />Children are the keepers of tempting <br />Stories <br />Their lies and thievery ruin your <br />Happiness <br /> <br />Enter the Teenager <br /> <br />This is the time of reckoning <br />The time to tremble <br />For this art the fear of all parents <br />And to tremble kindred <br />This is when you are going to cope <br />With sexual activity hightens <br />In diverse quantities they flow <br />To realms of danger <br />This is the time to count your blessings <br />To bring forth the reckoning <br /> <br />Enter the Adult <br /> <br />A time of change occurs <br />This brings back the endless cycle <br />This is when stories of humanity <br />Become of reality <br />For this is the time of Sensibility <br />To see to security in life <br />This is the greatest moment in life <br />When your choices are made <br />The reckoning came and went <br />The revolution came and went <br /> <br />Life came and went.<br /><br />James Davies<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-labours-lost/
