Poet To Poet

I bet you wish i'd go away

And come back on a brighter day

Then write about the birds and bees

Of swaying flowers, leafy trees 

Or maybe how the sunshine glows 

How sea might feel upon my toes

But here i am and here i'll stay

"I WILL NOT go away!"

I write about the things i see

About the fears concerning me

The truth is what I'm here to tell

You know me oh so well!

I may be morbid, always dark

My purpose to ignite a spark

That sets alight your cozy place

And slaps you in the face

So wake up poets, look around! 

There's blood upon your flowered ground 

And bombs fall from your sunny sky

As starving, broken children cry 

I cannot close my eyes to this 

Your happy ditti's take the piss

Of every teardrop ever spilt 

As dying flowers wilt
