They just wanted to live their lives
In happiness, peace and harmony
Without wars with other countries.
Though they were doves,
Their peace and love didn’t matter;
They lived in a country of hawks..

When the war started
Like thunder and lightning
In the flaming night skies,
When the bombs fell,
The bombs didn’t separate
The doves from the hawks,
Didn’t care about peace and love
And the doves died with the hawks.

Born into prosperity
Had all the advantages
Grew rebellious
And bored with
Her predictable life
Squandered her
Advantages
Her comfortable
And secure life
On wild party times
On drugs and
Dissipation
For a hedonistic life

Lost her
Inheritance
Didn’t care
Now she’s homeless
And on the streets
Strung out on drugs
Trapped in
Soul slaying
Addiction
Destitute and
Selling her body
For another fix
Living in a hell
Far from the heaven
Of her early life

Bob Boyd

Her days and nights have grown colder
Her life has become more desolate
Since she left her devoted husband
For a sordid Facebook affair
That ended soon after
Her departure from her husband
For a fickle fake lover
Now far too late to reconcile
She bemoans the regrettable loss
She regrets the impulsive mistake
And wishes she never left
The man who really loved her
For a foolish Facebook fling

Bob Boyd
