I have to write the following poem for myself. I may later delete it, but for now it must be.
I want desperately to hate,
but I have been told and taught
by those no longer here
that I must never do that.
Hell, can one tell a rainstorm
it must not allow the fields
to get trampled on and wet?
When the deer is confused
by the hunter's cruel guns,
Does this confusion protect it
with a bullet-proof vest because
it sickens non-hunters like me
to see the hanging tongue and
dried blood in an old pick-up
as the mighty hunter transports his trophy?
No, good often dies as evil or
what seems unfair, lives on and
continues to confuse, but keeps
life as we know it continuing in its
unchanging path.
