Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Lesson Not Learned

"No Man is an Island," quote by

John Donne who sermonized that each

Of us, part of the whole, need try

Learn true togetherness and teach

Social responsibility

Forward to descendants or face

Extinction of humanity

Spreading throughout all time and place.

Seventeenth century of Donne

Only bequeathed more war and hate.

Now in century twenty one

Exterminate piecemeal the fate.

The bells of death for each do call

Out inhumanity of all.
