Life Carries On!

Once upon time doesn't always mean a happy ending, You try to stick out but just keep on blending. Each day we get a tad bit stronger, Moral dilemmas forcing us under. Can I hold on just a little bit longer? Everyone always stealing your thunder. What is right and what is wrong? Does dear Mirriam have an answer? Just barely getting through life's hardships, Struggling to get along. Money and love being our only enhancer. What has the world come to? I durst you to explain. Soldiers and innocent civilians, Writhing in pain. Hiroshima, Nagasaki, the list goes on and on... The only answer to war is by dropping a bomb. We call out to those we care for deeply, Yet, the only answer they supply is understated so cheaply. "Words before blows," is all I can say. Then just carry on, And treasure the bright sun of each new day.
