Wars and Rumors of Wars
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Battles in New Mexico
Life in a house of death
We pray we’ll have Thanksgiving
Even with our final breath
There are many demons
In a land they call enchantment
Anger, envy, bitter strife
And most of all resentment
But this is where I need to be
Until I overcome them
The battles rage inside my gates
So, I cannot run from them
