William P. Harris Sr. Poet Rhyme

Pondering

Sitting here pondering the worlds state of affairs
I am wondering who really cares
I do not understand
Why is everyone  singing in the hate band
News
Is the blues
Everywhere I look 
Life is took
Hate is growing
It is showing
So much war
Seems they can't close that door
What's more
Hate is running free
For all to see
People dying
Less are crying
Turning our hearts black
Love, the world does lack
Hate
.....Is now our fate....
For so long
I have heard the war song
Raised voices
Making bad choice
Darkness fills the sky
As more people die
Hope starts to look thin
We can not let hate win
Would be a sin
As the world loses the light
More join the fight
Freedom it would seem
Is lost like some dream
Hates blanket starts to draw tight
Darker becomes the night 
When no one knows what is right
Only what is wrong
Hard to be strong
In a word without light
......Nothing would ever seem right....
