Destitute Must Thrive

Contrary to the forlorn attitude,
Thrive for the bliss of solitude,
The vulnerable gets incapacitated,
Keep spark of optimism inside alive !

Helpless gets sturdy, will not mentally die,
Heaps of benevolence, keeps living a lie,
Struggles till the woes get precipitated,
Spark of hope always burns alive !

Languishing tribulations seem incumbent,
A muscular man declared impotent,
Munificent heart asthenic and debilitated,
Spark of hope still stays alive !

Miseries are vaporous, only if comprehend,
Toreador if be, will turn vilipend,
Embrace potvaliancy, rather remain paralysed,
Must keep spark of hope alive !

Cyndi and I both agreed that this should be on the winner's list, Dr. Sharma because it is so relevant, VERY well written and seems to come from personal experience...In addition, as Faye Gibson commented, I need a dictionary!...May I assume that you are a medical doctor? - Tim

Well, I loved the language, the theme, the unique take (truly a rant, a call to arms against self-pity, interesting!!)... though the last lines did not rhyme, as they should, I could not in all conscience place this lower on the winner's list. The last two lines are slanted rhyme, which works fine. Congrats on the win. I look forward to reading more of your work. Cheers, Cyndi

When the currants are strong and overpowering it is so easy to be at a loss; it is hope and faith that can keep us afloat. (impressive vocabulary!) congrats on a fine win. // paul
