Sotto Poet Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Looming Shadows

In the depths, where shadows loom,
A tale unfolds of a vicious cycle.
Where poverty and despair consume
And dreams crumble amidst rotting isle.

From the ashes of broken dreams.
A spark of hope flickers and gleams.
In the darkest corners, where agony resides,
A glimmer of light and solace lies aside.

Amidst the chaos and relentless plight,
A spirit rises, determined to fight.
With resilience and strength, they break free.
From the chains that bind yet disagree.

In the midst of the storm, they find their voice.
Speaking out against injustice is their choice.
No longer silenced, no longer confined,
They rise above, leaving poverty behind.

Through perseverance and unwavering faith,
They defy the odds and conquer their fate.
No longer victims, they become the change.
Breaking free from the cycle—a cycle so strange

With every step forward, they leave behind,
Shadows that once loomed—are now blind.
