They Want To Live! Poem by John Kipling Lewis

They Want To Live!

Rating: ★3.2


By what means do they come to this desire I don't know...
but they want to live.

Even in the worst conditions; they bleed and burn and yet cling to life.

From the smallest child to the frailest man they are united in a desire to survive.

Why am I not like them?

It's OK but maybe add a little more vision to it.
