Renovation

We’re all hurled Into the midst, A perfect world Does not exist. Taught to hate, Doomed to die. Our death rate Has soared sky-high. We can escape, Begin the climb. Build to reshape Free from crime. Help to offset Push and shove. Do not forget How to love.

John, Stopping by with a nice, sweet Welcome to Poetry Soup. I will get much delight, in reading and in time become familiar with your verse. As for now, I will greet you with the same smile, others passed, when I first join the soup. Wishing you and your poetry the best. I hope you get to meet all the nice poet's around here. Starting with me. SKAT :-) Please drop a hello and tell me a little about yourself if you wish. I would like to be your newest poetry soup "FRIEND" Hugs* SKAT
