punditry

this is an age of fracture and regret
so much depends on the set of each sail
and right this moment we face a stiff gale

you won't be asked to foster nor abet
those who would add a comma to the tale
this is an age of fracture and regret

on the high wind so many hopes were set
knowing that all too soon plain words would fail
nothing remaining blunt force to curtail
this is an age of fracture and regret
