A Powerful Voice

I'm in a building made with concrete ceilings and walls caked thick with layers of decades old dust and littered with unfulfilled promises and broken pieces of past failures The manacles on the wall look so dark and looming A skeleton falls to break the burden of silence Like a man finally falling under a cross that's become too heavy to carry I can see so clearly in the dark its a frightening truth that speaks so clearly to my heart In the future if humans want too survive they must evolve I know every nook and cranny of these three stories I tell this story under my breath in an undertone as evils press me into a corner I can see the light of their eyes glowing in the dark searching my soul for any signs of weakness They feed on fear but there is no fear in me Because Love drives fear away They're like my fellow classmates in a classroom observing the respect my voice commands as the power of my voice is like the tip of a warhead sitting on my lips as a land mass the size of a continent breaks off the ice shelf

Timothy, Congratulations on your win. I'm overwhelmed on the outcome of my collaborations, I also gave a fair mention to those who did not follow the rules. Stop by my latest blog "MY FELLINGS" or my newest poem "FLESH" if you'd like or have time. Enjoy some of the collaborations on my list. Always & Forever ~LINDA~
