The Careless Man

I have Dreams I have Goals I have a Life I have a Cause I am Here for a Reason I fear my life will be taken away By a careless man I fear I'll become part of the 97% too soon I fear I might die with my legs open and a gun to my head I fear I might die from the loud echoing sound of a bullet From the gun in the Careless Man's Hand I fear my innocence will be stolen from me I fear that if I don't die from this I'll have a lifetime of Trauma But it's time to realize That you're much stronger than you think You're Growing You're Glowing You're greenest of leaves on that same Tree Your Ancestors Planted But still you fear... I want Prosperity, I want to grow I want to Breathe, I want to Glow Because I haven't been touched I think Justice has been served Because I haven't been touched I don't understand their Pain And still you fear This will all end in vain But only if you knew Those who don't get punished in this life Will in the next She longs to find a Place In which she can finally breathe Even if she roams around naked She won't be hurt She won't fear That her life will be taken away by The Careless Man ~ Fiyameta

Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." God bless you.
