Sonnet- Seeking a brighter tomorrow

Hope For A NewTomorrow

by jaybird1

When I survey this world amid'st its blight
of famine, storms and threats of global war;
Are we descending into final night?
I must do more than view this from afar.

No longer do we know the wrong from right.
We're drowning mid a world of greed and lust.
Can we no longer seek the blessed light
and strive to gain a brotherhood of trust?

With providence so seldom in our sight
we seek new light in many myriad ways.
For freedom from our world's embittered plight,
we struggle in our search for brighter days

My time has fled, my pen won't spare this plight,
but hope and faith e'er spur my urge to write.
