Mrs. Yolanda Nicholsen Poet Carpe Diem

Knights of Columbus

heavy feet burdened loose temper 
engraved silver tongues borrowed
 
laughter portraying fascist beliefs 
fascist energy exploding over white
 
sheets, malice moves throughout 
the narrow streets of poor folks tears
 
sin bathing in the sweat of the brave 
while funding self serves are we really
 
forgiven if this cause pain morbidly 
challenged an yet so unchanged

I Am Anaya July 13, 2023 at 9:19 AM "Forgiven" this wonder word that seems to be the "answer" to life's atrocities. It may be the beginning of a promise, but will it maintain? It's questionable. A life of faith in action...and still we don't see much change. Profound and gripping, Yolanda! Mrs. Yolanda Nicholsen January 1, 2024 at 12:08 PM Blessings Happy new years.
