Too Many People Are Dying
Too many people are dying!
By Stanley Russell Harris
The new mad author
& A Poetry Soup honourably mentioned poet
Too many people are dying.
From mankind’s! Bullets, bombs and drones.
And even in some countries.
You are no longer safe at home.
What is wrong with mankind?
Fighting, killing all the time.
Life on Earth is already short.
Living two score years and ten, as you ought!
To all you young folk, full of hate!
Mellow, calm down, is not too late.
If you do not, I’m sad to say.
The gateway to hell will be your way.
Heaven is closed to those that kill.
As folk of true faith, do not seek that thrill.
