Be Positive

Putrid pus proliferates/purposely preventing 
progression's passionate plea -
stifled cries...

Always ascending...and, assiduously avoiding 
any acrimonious amounts accrued along apathetic
apertures..."Still I Rise!"

Incessantly fighting the urge to just drop
out of this rancid Rat Race we call living

Still, to abandon sanguine thoughts totally topples the
tenacious toughness that took time to temper...never stop giving

Enervated entities economically embattled


Man, each day we face trouble/In every Third World A Struggle -
singed and burned I'm like stubble/but, like The Ashes Of The Phoenix 
to Resurrect from this rubble

Sometimes I shift towards arrogance; The Good Lord Keeps 
me humble

Lifting languid limbs loftily to overcome this present Flood

Be Positive is my motto, the flip side?
It's my Blood...

B+

Thanks for sharing this. God bless you. Meanwhile, I greet you with a Joyous New Year with this prayer from the Bible in Numbers 6:24-26, "The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace."

More than 90 % people are with B+ blood group, they spread the message of B+, to rise from this rubble. And, the world runs. It is nicely woven poem going deeper inside, each word is enjoyable. I liked Incessantly fighting the urge to just drop out of this rancid Rat Race we call living. Of course, we, all, are in rat's alley. Indeed, I enjoy. thanks. Narinder
