I've been on an emotional roller coaster the last couple of days. As a result, this poem and several others just kind of popped out of my head today. Don't know if anyone will like it, but I'd appreciate any feedback on it anyone is willing to give. Thanks. It seems harsh at first, but it gets better - promise.
Fear
Humiliation
Fear
Predation
Fear
Violence
FEAR!
Waiting for the shoe to drop,
Hoping all the fighting will stop,
Praying for a better day,
Willing evil to go away.
Walking together hand in hand
Strolling through a somber land.
All we have how is each other:
Mother, father, sister, brother,
Husband, wife, daughter, son.
Count your blessings, every one.
Hold on tightly, live for now.
Stand with me and take this vow.
Be united heart and mind;
To our differences, we'll be blind.
Stand together not divided!
Humanity must be united!!!
