Waves Would Come Upon the Shore

Waves Would Come Upon the Shore

Waves would come ashore;
They did many times before;
None shall stay behind.

In haiku am told
Words were never meant to rhyme
Before or again.

Regardless of what
Must be able to express
In a clear fashion.

Thought please come to me
Which I will want to express
In way of my own.

My mind still does flow
On and on gathering speed
And hard to control.

Hear terrorism
Mentioned daily on the news
Spread out here and there.

Subjects still exist
That seem to preplex my mind;
Worry and worry.

Animosity
And much misunderstanding
Seem to still exist.

Can find prejudice;
Also discrimination;
Way beyond control.

Study the issue;
Wonder what should be done next;
Each goal is to solve.

Some have been injured;
Others did become so sick;
Dying day by day.

Life has a limit
That by God must be controlled,
For it to exist.

Saw weather in sky,
As all the clouds collected;
Wait and it will rain.

To God will still pray;
Am pleading my case to Him;
Always does listen.

Soon will be with God;
Heaven forever shall be;
Always accepted.
