The People's Roar
Robert Lee Oct 2017
People seem to create pain
not love, peace or happiness
the constant battle for a like or follow determines us
determines how we view ourselves and others

A single comment can destroy
as if someones life is another's toy
A single image can motivate
a horrific passion that chooses ones fate

the demons of another world
a virtual kingdom
the pain a word can cause
doesn't even make them pause
but instead crave their shock, distress and agonising roars

Wasted Time
Robert Lee Sep 2017
The rush begins
I open my eyes
A glint of sunlight
The baby cries

Soon a man
How time flies
In big school now
With blazar and ties

The drum beats faster
Like the heart of a storm
No time to run
We all shall morn

If life is small
And death is large
Then why do we waste it
At the bugles charge

— The End —
