Sample poems from book

Out of This Fog...

I got to get my head out of this fog.

I know I’m not a prince hidden as a frog.

I don’t know what happened to my head.

Maybe it all happened while I was in bed.

I might be depressed about life,

But I know that I’ll never pick up the knife.

I got to do what I got to do,

even if it displeases you.

Sometimes I have so many doubts and fears.

I continue to fight back the tears.

I guess I’ll continue running around like a wild dog,

because I still got to get my head out of this fog.

Report on the News....
Another report on the news,
About a bomb being missed used.
Soldiers doing what they’re told,
By people whose hearts seems cold.
So many people dying,
Many more are crying.
How does a war last this long?
Have we forgotten where are soldiers belong?
Who cares who the war belongs too?
Watch out, it’ll affect you too.
Young men brought home in body bags,
And the country says thanks with a simple flag.
Another report on the news,
About a war being missed used.
