The Flames Of Hell
In My Life No Longer
Exist
Or
Reach For The Sky
With Billowing Smoke
Blocking The Light
From The Sun
Poems, poets, poetry, writing, poetry challenges
They say it’s wise
to pick your battles,
to avoid the conflict
and preserve the peace.
But what of honesty, what of pride
can be preserved in the face of opposition?
There is something to be said in pride –
there is a pride in being honest with the world,
with one’s self.
One cannot sleep in a bed with
dishonesty between the sheets.
