Tom Zart Poems

Hatred has plagued man since we wore skins of fur
Beating our enemies with stick and stone.
History has proven what we refuse to learn
As the seeds of hate by conflict are sown.
...

Ever since we fought with stone or stick.
They are taught things they have never known.
Babies are victims of the evils of man
Never to be the same when grown.
...

HELL ON EARTH - 2023! !
All through history man was born to struggle
Surviving nature, disease, greed, and war.
Since his conception he has remained the same
...

Our youth comes once in a lifetime
And numerous are its schemes.
Book of beginnings without end
With its illusions and its dreams.
...

Tears are the raindrops of the soul
And there's one for all who die.
They are the silent words of grief
As they fall free from the eye.
...

Greed is a human madness
Which consumes both heart and mind.
Those who rule their spirit with truth
Shall be prized by all mankind.
...

What would we become without God’s deliverance of love
Void of someone to need, dream of and yearn for.
Romance provides purpose, pleasure, trust and motive
To become more than we ever were before.
...

Thank you for who you are in your heart
As you serve others by your commitment and love.
Too many worship money, fame, and themselves
Never to submit to God’s guidelines from above.
...

Wherever dwell the mad dogs of man
There is corruption, plunder and hate.
In every city, town, or village
Those who promote distrust deserve their fate.
...

Dr. King, one of the most influential black leaders
Was born to a minister and a teacher of school.
Educated to where he earned his P.H.D.
Becoming a pastor marching against what was unfair and cruel.
