My poem
---------
The journey of life

The journey of life can be challenging and tough,
The good times,
The bad times,
The smooth and the rough.

Our perspective of life can be somewhat slanted,
Blind to the obvious...
Taking loved ones for granted.

You get out of life what you put in,
There's no entry fee and no prize to win.

Embrace new chapters as you pass through your age
Proceed with caution ... You don't know what is written on the following page

There will be wonderful moments in...

I was watching a programme on the knife crimes and its played on my mind ..

I had to write this down :

KNIFE 🔪 CRIME

The dark spirit, it feasts and it thrives.

Spreading fear among families,
These kids , these knives 🔪

Oh what a waste of beautiful young lives.

On the street and in the park,
In the light of day, under the cover of dark.

The blade , gangs .. it’s becoming an obsession.

The violence - the hatred - manifesting into anger and aggression.

Is it too late ?...
