I am in the minority
Yet no feelings of inferiority
Staying silent in the crowd
No need to shout out loud
Seeing what I see
Still remaining free
Always watching from the hill
Feeling calm-Being still
Never going toe to toe
With other people
Who just don’t know
Sucked in sucker punched
Selling their soul
For a free lunch….
Angry men-Tin men
No heart-No soul
No depth or understanding
Straw men-Clay men
Runaway men…
I have been all of these
Like four feathers in the breeze
But life has brought me to my knees
As I figure out who I should be
Now just myself living by grace
Showing love-Bringing peace
To every person every place
No longer a coward
Making a stand
Drawing my line in the sand
Encircled killed buried dead
Here lays a once solid man…
