Richard Palmer Poet Verse

The Solution

Eyes without vision,
Minds without thoughts,
Bodies moving like zombies,
Living,but playing no part,

Following bad company,
Wasting precious time,
Another great young life,
Charged for murder,numerous crimes,

Living a cruel,bloody life,
Leaving many in sorrow,
Flash-back,things you have done,
Makes you afraid of the shadows,

Possessive in love,
Consumed by greed, 
Controlled by anger,
The ALMIGHTY,is what you need...
