Eve Roper Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

          

Strife, Please Stop Knocking At My Door

Pains of emotional life		
			
Life reaps your heart like a knife		
		
Knife dipped in embittered  strife	
		
Strife, a grudging ghost, please have pity

Pity and let me breathe	
				
breathe  an untroubled  life	
			
Life brings out the  cats and rats 	
		
Rats fighting to take your dreams
			
Dreams time of want  achieved	
			
Achieved to be taken away		
		
Away  because of selfish greed 
				
Greed is   easier to reap	
		
Reap  through humans  pain	
		
Pain and breath taken away	

Strife, please stop knocking at my door
