 Harry Sweeden. My life in verse.

Seclusion




Seclusion comes easy when the world is on fire
To step back and ponder the madness of men
Having witnessed the bloodshed that religion has brought us
Knowing the faith that they cling to is fateful to the end.

So many now claim their God must see bloodshed
As the life force of man seeps below the deep sand
Soon the blood will be drained and war will take over
To kill all those people with blood on their hands.
 
I have witnessed many wars and the lives that are broken
To believe there is a heaven having lived through this hell
Man has become alien to the goodness born within him
Now the fire is raging and out of control.
