Sign of the Times *Published in Purple Rose Magazine*

Sign of the Times



Cumbersome times,

filled with scandals,

embedded in a labyrinth of lies.



Our lives sundered,

like a crying baby from the womb.

Invaded and terrorized,

victims of unspeakable horror.



Moment in history marked,

morbid reminder of the era.

Devolved to our next generation,

as a war they know nothing about.



(c) Melinda Varner 2002
