The Warring Twenties

The Warring Twenties

Remember when the wall fell?
A mountain peaked with hope
Arose and for a spell
We jointly climbed its slope
But it soon became a task
Impossible to bear
The slope was left to bask
In wanton disrepair
The mountain disappeared
Collapsed upon itself
And in its place appeared
A mirage formed of wealth
Attention soon arrested
Another race began
Now violently contested
By zealous jealous man
The mirage seems quite far
From being justly claimed
And the warring twenties are
Most very aptly named
