To Live Poem by kipper Stagg

It would have been nice to have lived a trouble free life!
Instead of perpetual suffering each day!
My right arm I would have give
To take this constant pain away.
A bleeding heart so full of sorrow
For you my dear friends, though you do not see
So as we all could have had a "Better Tomorrow! "
Ridiculed, vilified beaten and kicked
Protecting the weak and the scared and the sick
From bullying tyrants who just do not care
Their prey they would stalk and then pounce
Without feeling, "NO! " not one ounce!
How I would cry, seeing fear at the glint of an eye
And how try as hard as I could, they'd take it as only they could.
