The Cause

Struggle knows
No rest stops
Nor reprieve pauses,

Rather, like time,
It remains infinitely 
Guilty of cause—

There can be no counter clockwise
Movement in the struggle
Moving towards absolute freedom;

Flesh has rotted
And blood has dried—
Wicked principalities tick on.

Your poetry is certainly gritty and gutsy, Millard. :) john
