To Overcome - Poem


To Overcome


Blazing daggers

Cutting, stabbing, slicing

Leaving nothing untouched

No mercy, no sympathy

In the hearts of those wielding

Common man suffers

The cruel injustices of their onslaught

As their quest for blood continues

What hope has mankind

As long as they stand?

When will the winds change

To blow a softer breeze on humanity?

Are the gods blind to mankind's pain?

Let us each blow a soothing wind

That together we may overcome

The morbid insensitivity

For alone, our breaths can do little

Yet, combined,

We can create a cyclone

Which will tear the daggers

From their hands
