poetry by j matthew waters

not wanted

call off your eagles
nesting in my trees
they belong back home
protecting your streets

those sharks in the sea
circling near the coast
free them from their wrath
far away from my church

the seven nation army
breathing down my neck
marches on with dignity
only few understand

august two thousand thirteen

I think we all need to spend time at home, sorting out home-type problems. Interfering with our neighbours will be the death of us – – –

  I was just saying there are people starving here at home…what a shame how our resources are wasted.
