Notes About The Poem

" THE PERFECT DEMOCRAT " MY PHOTO, ©

Facing the Unknown

Four times, I have crossed swords with Death on the
Battlefield of life,
And
As many times I was spared by this formidable
Opponent.
Not because of mercy on His part but rather,
From certitude that His, the final victory will be.
However,
Bitter, I am not for my upcoming ending
For
During our fights, I came to know Him very well, to the
Degree, of course, a mortal this slayer can know,
So
Now I can declare: " That a better democrat than Him
It is impossible, anywhere, to find
Since
He equally treats everyone, regardless of the mighty
King one happens to be
Or
Just an unimportant beggar!"

Vijay Pandit December 11, 2022 at 5:55 AM A message of truth from the depths of wisdom, my friend. Is that a flower in your photo?--looks like a god-made painting. Demetrios Trifiatis December 11, 2022 at 9:51 AM Yes, it is a sort of flower. I took the photo. I thought the color will fit the poem. Thank you for your gracious comment, my good friend, Vijay. God bless you .

It may be the unknown but we have nothing to fear. Hope your weekend is going well. Tom Demetrios Trifiatis December 11, 2022 at 2:37 AM Thank you for your precious visit and comment, my friend Tom!
