Dramatic poem in its simple words with the voice of a child: 'You knew of this defeat' (it responds to my poem Amazon River) . Well done dear Aaron Priestley. I gave a high rating to your work. I liked your original scenario with the man and the child. Keep on and just focuss on such great ideas..but work hardly your verses, (as all real poets do) until they become mature. Thanks for sharing. Joseph S. Josephides Member of the International Society of Poets (ISP) Int.Lib.Poetry awarded

The poem is about the Global Warming - in its simplest form. The voice of the man represents the present and people's worrying lack of concern regarding our environment: 'I've had my time in the Sun.' And the voice of the boy delineates what may very well be the future of our world and also the problems our children and grandchildren will now face due our long-term and continuing neglect: 'You knew of this defeat.'
