 Harry Sweeden. My life in verse.

geishacountrypoetpoetry759
The world is on fire
people are burning
soon the flames will cover us all
no religion will save us
no faith will redeem us
no healer will answer our calls.

Our words are on fire
when shouting for glory
but the suffering never seems to desist
it just moves its location
engulfing a nation
that is too weak to try and resist.

The world keeps on burning
but no one is learning
till there’ll be nothing left but our ash
with cinders still burning
on a world that’s still turning
our lives just traded for cash!
