It's another morning and I'm so fortunate To awaken and enter another day I reflect for a few moments And remember the ones who strayed For many a reason this has happened Mans inhumanity to man is one Car jacking in many cultures Or the bullet from many a gun Rapists, paedophiles and murderers No care for the victims they claim Be it needle, chair or rope Taken out should be our aim And now I speak of the gangs Their bravado speaks volumes to them Peer power within their families In my eyes they'll never be men To the politicians I care not to look Never tarring them all the same It's the ones that lie through their teeth Power and riches their illegal fame The next morning I awake once again And reflect on the decent out there Much time I can reflect about them To the good I can always fare http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/life-14.php
