Poem Title:
Poem
a thunderous drum beat or a sweet soothing melody life flows up and down like the scales of harmony Imagine-John Lennon it's never been hard to see the pain that resides in me for my heart lies upon my sleeve Kevlar shirts to keep me warm to protect others from a rising storm that could easily be unleashed transforming man to beast Cats and the Cradles-Harry Chapin Promises turned to lies viewed through blackened eyes your oaths I despise to love, teach and protect became nothing more than neglect the mythical part of parenthood has always been the word "good" A horse with no name-America lost without a name guilt, shame another fault to believe in the adult as seering hatred burned a child learned trust must be earned carved upon stone to atone for empty sand we didn't understand the times the crimes nor the rhymes The Reasons-Earth, Wind, and Fire my existence the persistence of something to give a reason to live to help others sisters and brothers sharing, comparing our pain their rain sunny skies victorious sighs no longer numb we have overcome Unchained Melody-Al Green childhood just a memory that disappointed me with the pain it brought but the lessons wrought worth more than gold needing to be told to let go the music like tears must flow a thunderous drum beat or a sweet soothing melody life flows up and down like the scales of harmony...........
