 Harry Sweeden. My life in verse.

geishacountrypoetpoetry759
Kills completely
 
 
I tried to rise
Above the lies
And people’s misconception
I asked at most
A parting toast
To a life’s participation.
 
I found no grace
Nor open space
In mankind's segregation
Black v white
Or rich v poor
Never mutual admiration.
 
I have been through war
And counted score
Of all that fell around me
I have seen the eyes
Of those that died
In wars that kills completely.
