The Battle

By Barbie Anne

 

The battle we all fight

To see what is right

is the cause for my current plight

 

For,

I have done my part

To keep a pure heart

As for my unfortunate counterpart---

 

I am not so sure he will succeed

The task of future good deeds

After a life full of deceit and trickery

 

See…

a careful soul respects others

and never smothers

the ones intended to be brothers

 

Ó Barbie Anne 1999
