Poem
This is my challenge a challenge to all It’s only for the strong so some of you may fall It’s a challenge so simple, but so hard to do And this is the challenge, I set before you Place down your arms and pick up your pen Wish FOR PEACE ON THE EARTH AND GOODWILL TO ALL MEN "I am better than you, why didn’t I come first? You obviously can’t judge, you are the worst It may be your contest but I think I should win The rest of them suck, only worthy of the bin If you don’t place me higher it’s because you are nuts You know mine’s the best you haven’t t got the guts I don’t like your contest, I’ll not write again Remember PEACE ON THE EARTH AND GOODWILL TO ALL MEN A line that is heard over the world at this time of year Good wishes flying around and lots of good cheer But is seems to me that we can never have peace If even on a poetry site hostilities don’t cease Who is the best… who really cares? This site was a haven that poets made theirs Male or female, we all took up a pen There’s no PEACE ON THE EARTH AND GOODWILL TO ALL MEN Bring back the days when we were here to write The site that saw many through many a dark night It helped and encouraged, it soothed savage brow But not any more, just look at us now We preach what we want, but don’t follow through Our smooth little soup is a lumpy old stew So here is the challenge and I say it again WISH PEACE ON THE EARTH AND GOODWILL TO ALL MEN Keep the tantrums and ego’s under wraps can you please? Keep the back biting and *****ing under your sleeve If you didn’t win, what does it matter at all? If you enjoyed your writing, stand proud and stand tall If you don’t like the rules then don’t enter the contest Remember keep the peace, you surely will be blessed Use your pen for some good and show true skills again Lay down harsh words WISH GOODWILL TO ALL MEN It’s no good just saying these words… that means nought Think what you are saying, and give the words deep thought If we practice what we preach and want peace on earth Then that’s what we should work at for all we are worth We wouldn’t hurt or belittle, brag or let our ego’s lead We would all work for happiness, and make it our creed Put tantrums away, stick the dummy back in and then Truly WISH PEACE ON THE EARTH AND GOODWILL TO ALL MEN For the stick I will get for writing this verse Go on those that will… you may do your worse But us Brits I must say, we have quite thick skin I will stand tall and proud and take it on the chin Try to live and let live and try to hurt no one It’s got to be better than pens drawn at dawn So take up my challenge I repeat it again WISH PEACE ON THE EARTH AND GOODWILL TO ALL MEN I am uneducated; there are some here so clever But to me peace is paramount I wish it now and forever When I joined the soup a haven it was Now many are leaving and it’s possibly because... We don’t need egos’ b****ing and cat fights Banishment and tears, we just need good writes So for this NEW YEAR why can’t we all take up our pen And truly wish PEACE AND GOODWILL TO ALL MEN GG 21 /12 2013 ©
