I Shall Not Kill a Fly

I was in my living room sitting on my couch I've gotten up to dim the lights Sitting back down I rub my eyes Relax in the calm I meditate on God Sometime wondering, in amazement Wandering it was dormant and quiet but in the still my thought processed I witness a speck in the air It had lit by my side I shall not kill a fly The world is evolving around and around it goes People trying, surviving trying to ignore Sitting back I rub my eyes I turn off the television, because of all the misery Wars, terrorists, children starving it was dormant and quiet but in the still my thought processed I witness a speck in the air It had lit by my side I shall not kill a fly Elder abuse, child neglect Horrible neglected children What's your mission, What's your vision And why are you stealing cake out of the kitchen it was dormant and quiet but in the still my thought processed I witness a speck in the air It had lit by my side I shall not kill a fly I was a teen once, I married as a young adult Fathered three children chested them when they done wrong Never joined the military, never fought in a war Always, always held doors open for women and girls Sometime wondering, in amazement Wandering I turn off the television, because of all the misery Wars, terrorists, children starving What's your mission, What's your vision it was dormant and quiet but in the still my thought processed I witness a speck in the air It had lit by my side I shall not kill a fly written by James Edward Lee Sr
