Life

LIFE Poem Lionel Derbyshire When in doubt .. I start to measure life How long is peace ? Without a pill It is shorter than a bee sting I'll answer When luck was next to me It did not stay very long Love was there .. It did not roll along I let it run away Yesterday’s pains Are not disappearing They only get wider They hit and they run I am thankful No longer for my birth Life is a Cry and scream of Abuse and shout in Fight and blood with Pain and ill Dry hunger , cold scandal Let down ..go down give Or be killed But .. ! I got to get rhythm That is key My rhythm I must find Challenge and move Grab the handle Open the door I must shake Wake up .. awake Get up .. start Heart on fire Soul is burning The fire of doubt I put out. You know it is not That easy Let’s start all over again Life .. Lend me a hand. I did not know what to do.
