Shirley Hawkins Poet Rhyme

All That Stuff

I should like to drink a cup,
Of kindness and goodness up.
I think that we have had enough,
Of war and hatred,
And all that stuff.

Sharing this brew with my fellow man,
So they will follow in God's Holy plan,
We would have to drink it every day,
To make sure that we would not go astray,
Waiting for that day to come,
When this brew will cure everyone.

I know this poem is unrealistic,'
We must keep optimistic,
We all need a good shake-up,
And keep sipping that loving cup.
Because I for one, has had enough,
Of war and hatred and all that stuff!
