Nate Wallenmeyer Poet Etheree

Life

Life
Hard Strife
Stay alive
Need of advice
To survive this night
Born in this world of crime.
Fear, obstacle of progress
Adhere and surpass digression
I took every chance not to question
“The lesson,’ said Death, ‘Is knowledge, with use” 
The knowledgeable fear application
Those who aren't fearful are dull-witted 
This may seem like hostile intent            
To comprehend the simple.
 Individually
I took Death’s advice 
Changed lives and mine 
True to this.
Compassion,
Love.
