New Messiah
From whom among the worldly scrum
will Earth’s brighter future come?
Who’ll point a twitching finger to
a skyline of a sickly hue
and before our future’s gone,
transform it from its dull and wan
pallor to a richer hue?
What newer race will then renew
as their fathers failed to do?
Who forms these saviors of the world?
In what infant brain lies curled
the savior of the human race?
Or will we vanish without a trace?
Prompt words today are twitch, skyline, scrum, wan and finger.

Considering the prompt words, this was kind of an interesting tangent for the poem to take. Kudos.

Well done and I love the expressive thought~! However I only wish that it could be more contemporary and less looking toward the future~! Maybe by the end of this year it will be more so~!

Thanks, Derrick. I once heard someone say, “If Jesus appeared in the world today, would anyone listen?” I suspect no, unless he became a TV Evangelist and started asking for money.
