William P. Harris Sr. Poet Rhyme

I fear

Watching the world of mankind
I find
So much hate I see
I wish to be free
Justifying the things they do
Doesn't have to be true
Fool
I watch hate tearing the world apart.
Scars across my heart
Casual killing thy neighbor 
Words like a saber
Cuts the soul deep
Haunted dreams while you sleep
There sits a momma, I can hear her weep
It's own worse enemy is mankind
I have tried to find
A way to tell them a different way
With the words in which I play
About love 
Faith in God above 
Kindness is the only way
No one seems to hear
I feel the fear
I feel down to my  heart
I want no part
My words are a waste
They have no taste
I'm wasting my time
With words that rhyme 
I fear 
They fail to hear
Life should be held dear
I have no power with my word
They are seldom heard
I'll step back
Let hate continue it's attack 
I don't know
Which way to go
Maybe we don't deserve life
Living for strife
We are wiping ourselves out
Hard to stand stout
A tear falls from my eye
Is love a lie
Seems all there is is hate
My words came to late.
 Fire falls from the sky
So many die
For mankind I cry
