Richard Lamoureux Poet Free verse

Rise and Fall

He got knocked off his high horse
Now in the mud with pigs
He use to fly with eagles
Someone clipped his wings

Pride before a fall
Pedestal knocked down
Robes of a king
No subjects around

The mighty replaced
The weak will rise up
Nothing lasts forever
Reality is tough

Choose to be humble
Live a life with care
What others see as less
In the end is truly more

Timothy Hicks May 2, 2013 at 11:45 PM Like the waves we rise and fall. What you speak of is very true, but yet it's extremely hard to eliminate people entirely from the equation. I think that somewhere deep down, there's always that little piece inside you that DOES care what other people are saying. It's easy to stay off one's high horse if you are very short, however! Lol... Richard Lamoureux May 3, 2013 at 8:30 AM Ha ha ha, I love the way you think!
