Rose Tinted
Children playing happily
Lessons learned methodically
People waited patiently
In the queue orderly
Things done decently
Respected law honourably
Obeyed the rules willingly
I’ll take off my Rose tinted spectacles
eventually;
What about today?
Up to us all respectively!

An engaging poem that surprises you with its ironical twist at the end.
A nifty little poetic divertissement that broaches larger themes with a confident self deprecating wit.
