Stanley Harris Poet I do not know?

If Only Life Was So Simple

>If only life was so simple.
All would live in peace.
Fighting, killing all would stop.
Like writing nought, all could have writers block.
By that I mean, all fighting stop.

I do not write what I really think.
Of people and religions.  I think stink.
As they plunder, rape and kill.
I think it's just for their thrill.
Saying for their faith, I think, is ill-will.

If I had one wish before I die.
I'd make a pill of peace, I cry.
Just one for all to take on one day.
To take hate, fear and killing away.
Can you like me picture that day?

No one fighting, smiling faces.
People happy, open spaces.
Just one pill.  One for all.
No loved ones lost from fighting fall.

If only life was so simple.
All would live in peace.
Fighting, killing all would stop.
Like writing nought, all could have writers block.
By that I mean all fighting stop.

I think I must have been dreaming, but if the words come one has to write doesn't one?  (The mad author)<
