Our World


Published in the Georgia Mountain Review
Spring 2016
Pages 45-46


A world of hate
Should our tribe and race determine our fate?
Is life still a precious gift?
Do we teach to condemn or to uplift?

A world of war
Should we love with our hearts, or bite with our jaws?
Should we have destroyed the Middle East?
After Iraq, Libya, and Syria; which country is next on our list?

A world of no rest
Should we always interfere in everyone's nest?
Do we help ourselves when we help others?
Or hurt ourselves when we bother?

Forward ever - backward never, we move on
Despite some gun-thirsty blood-thirsty demons
That seek to divide rather than unite
We will always overcome the darkness of the night

A child is born to be loved, and to love
But some parents teach the hateful curve
My heart cries and cries and cries
As I seek truth in a world full of lies

The souls of the just will have eternal peace
But the pains of the evil will never cease
I cry and pray for the lives in the school and the church
Please come O God, the violence is much

Into your hands O God, I commend my spirit
As I live in a world of hate, war, and deciet
I love this life, but hope for a best world
A place of love and place when I am called

Live and Let Me Live

Published in the Georgia Mountain Review Spring 2017 Page 61 She cries, he cries Hopeful to see the light of day Not yet human, are just lies If thou will, I will live It is entirely my body On my way to get the pill Not prepared to behave oddly I simply have more priorities Why would I be worried? She is just a fetus, a cell Besides, I am not yet married It's my lifestyle, my choice If only you let me live I will grow to be part of you Would you be able to carry me? If grandma made a wrong choice? Dear Mother, please have mercy Though situations vary, please consider Even in the midst of controversy Please live and let me live.
