Must We ? – Monorhyme Poem

Poetry challenge: Monoryhme.

Must we all be liars, shivering, afraid

In the beds we made?

The pasts we trade?

The present a pleasant, coffee-hit parade;

While constantly we fail to make the grade;

Desperately praying that alcohol and lemonade,

 A hastily-applied temporary Band-Aid;

Passing, on and on, a homemade

Loathing-and-fear hand grenade

Will sufficiently damage the Tomorrow Barricade?
