Facing the Demons

Inside I feel rage
I am not alone in this
One must face up to one's demons 
and conquer them
The world being what it is
we must gather our strength to fight 
Politics can be voicous 
Yet is is a part of life 
Somwhere in the distance 
A wild animal is sounding off
We will know peace

I have a feeling many of us have the same rage, and are not sure what to do. The wild animal seems to be getting closer, and a bit more senile too.

I believe that peace is the desire of so many around the world. To feel safe when you sleep and know that your children will not be harmed speaks volumes about what freedom really means. We are living in a Twitter world now and words come back to bite you! I enjoyed your insightful poem Matthew. : )
