Shirley Hawkins Poet Rhyme

A Way of Coping

What is the point of screaming
When feeling low
It doesn't solve anything
Or change the status quo.

Few seem to listen
As they have problems of their own
Others go silent
To try to live in a world of their own.

Many feel dissatisfied,
Quarrel, cause a fight.
What are they fighting for
With so much vigour and might.

The way we cope,
If that is what we do
Is questionable
As we all have different points of view.

Live and let live
Don't interfere with others,
Share your good fortune
And knowledge with your brothers

Eradicate greed and power,
From your mind
What a different World this would be
For all humankind.
