Raise the Hammer
A poem by Kevin Somers.

Family, job, pets... sleep, clean, read, write...
And hope that life somehow works out
If life didn't get in the way so often
I'd have much more time to write, no doubt
But when there's been no chance to write
I don't curse life or wife or shout or pout
Because if not for life and all its business
There'd be nothing much to write about
Right, Life?
Right
First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win." -- Mohandas Gandhi
