I have a never ending fire

that lives in my heart

it doesn't take take much

to cause a spark

I can stretch a idea

like the last few dollars

until pay day comes

sleep plays the role of sacrificial lamb

how can I rest when my mind is at war

its been going on for 20 years and counting

I see no end in sight

this is Iike my own version

of the" Hundred Years War "

I never have yielded a gun

my pen is my weapon

if I aim it right maybe one night

I'll get to be on stage being awarded

the pulitzer prize

I might come after

the Nobel peace prize next

I believe peace is the greatest gift

we can be given

writing gives me peace

these writing pieces make up

the puzzle pieces of my soul

long after I depart

my words will still be here

for all to view and pick apart
