Byron

The hands of time keep turning and so many years have gone Since Byron composed Don Juan and Childe Harold but his legend still lives on His brief life of adventure was lived in life's fast lane And the question is still pondered will we see his likes again? Time has witnessed many Seasons since he found his lasting peace Since the famous bard from England drew his final breath in Greece The man Caroline Lamb a former lover said was mad, bad and dangerous to know But his verses are still living though the seasons come and go. We would need a poet like Byron in the World of today For he fought against injustice and on it had much to say In his time one might say of him he cut some tall poppies down And he humbled a few bullies on his roadway to renown. He had his human frailties his biographers recall But in the war against injustice his contribution far from small And he became known and famous far beyond old England's shore And his verse and biting satire will live on forever more.
