What's Been Going On : Modern Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


 

 


You've never told me what's going on .

What's been happening

since I've been gone.


I was on a mission far away .

In a future time after today .

 

I see by the newspaper headlines .

That the economies hit hard times .

 

But don't worry, there's no need to fear .

In the future debts all disappear .

 

So Obama has been elected .

Has global warming been corrected .


I'm not a mind reader so tell me .

There is so much that is yet to be .

 

Did the governments unite as one .

Did they destroy the bomb

and the gun .

 

I've seen some of what will become here .

In a time when there's nothing to fear   .

 

So tell me now what's been going on.


Have we discovered that war is wrong .


Has a cure for cancer appeared  yet.


Did they find the ultimate secret  .


When I wasn't here

who took my place .


I need to know look me in the face .


Come on and tell me I've got to know.


For its almost time for me to go.

I've got to return to make a change .

There's a few things I've got to arrange .
