WEAPONS (REVISED)

Weapons

Weapons what are your uses?
You are too ignorant to
Work by yourselves
You need to manipulate man in order
For you to seem significant
Why?
You like to see people suffer because of
Your protection
Weapons what are your uses?
Weapons, you are
Honored as machinery to protect
You are misleading humankind
You have another purpose, another vindictive scheme
You like to see sadness let’s see some…
Weapons you are phony
Weapons what is your true use?
What is your true identity?
Why do people love your nature?

Time (REVISED)

Time

The alarm begins
5 AM
Time for a new day
Shower, Clothes, keys
Driving quickly
work

Clock in,
Clock out
The highway
Clear
Rush to class


No time for games
Only education
Classes switch

Books
Keys
Car
Home
Midnight
Sleep

Faith

Faith

By Kathleen Monahan
Stairs with rotten wood
The hazard
Of walking up but your dream is
At the top of the staircase

You take caution as you place your foot
On the first step
Take a deep breath
And continue to walk up

Creek creek creek snap!
The railing just came off
That doesn’t stop you
Left foot right foot
You are almost there

Spider webs begin to disappear
And the stairs start
to get sturdier
As you remember the
struggle to get here

You made it through
And filled you with strength
You reached your destination

LIFE (REVISED)

Kathleen Monahan

Life

I look carefully
Down at the cement
Below my feet

Gray colored
It has gone through
Many calamities

Its age can be seen
In the cracks
So deep from a variety
Of weather that passed

Day and Night
Night to day
Months to months
Years upon years
It began to wither away

Yet with the sunlight
Available to the
Walls of the split cement
A Blade of grass
Begins to grow.

LIFE

Life

By Kathleen Monahan
I look carefully
Down at the cement
Below my feet

Cream colored
It has gone through
Many obstacles

Its age can be seen
In the cracks
So deep from a variety
Of weather that passed

Day and Night
Night to day
Months to months
Years upon years
It began to wither away

Yet with the sunlight
Available to the dark
Cold Base of the cement
A Strand of grass
Begins to grow.
