I Walk

Cash for clothes Unnecessary materials As we sell our souls Fleeing from thought Believing in lies Forgetting the struggles We walk to our demise Words of wisdom tampered Action dictated by the sinister The truth shattered in confusion Between you, the world, and the minister Revel to your hearts drum, and your heart’s only Believe men can conquer Giants In face of wickedness do not become frail Stand strong, thought inflexible Knowing that you will prevail Wean your mind of the world’s cloth Fear not rains or winds blown Contentment rests within Then, you shall “Walk on your own”

Surely we "walk to our demise" when we fail to "Revel to our heart's drum." The world can make us crazy, James, but your poem inspires us to believe we have the strength to "conquer Giants." Very insightful. Excelleing writing! Love, Carolyn
