Michael J. Falotico Poet Senryu

Strength Prevails

Two stone pillars stand..
                                       Reach into the blue Heavens..
                                               Rage and anger fly..

                                             Passion and love pour..
                                        United and strength prevails..
                                              Lives lost , not spirit..
