Verlena S. Walker Poet Acrostic

The Modern Day Sojourner Truth

THE MODERN DAY SOJOURNER TRUTH

Tired from the lack of work --------Trivial
Lazy, I am not.-------------------Search
Thinking about Non-Profit---------Self-Employment
Freelance Writing, Tutoring, Virtual Administrator, etc…---------Thumbtack
You can’t keep a real woman down.------------------Steadfast
Many aspirations I have.----------------------------------Praying

Gotta get up early in the morning.-----------------------------Mobile
To define my purpose----------------------------------------Harmonizing
To many negative thoughts------------------------------------Intune
To why I continue to be down---------------------------------- Enthused
This is not the measure I am in.------------------------------------Woman
I am just as strong as [any] man.----------------------------------Sojourner!

Richard Lamoureux May 17, 2014 at 2:06 PM Desiring to supercede would speak more to the weaker part of our being. If we seek to raise and encourage, our true strength becomes realized. When we join our lights the path becomes illuminated. Verlena S. Walker May 17, 2014 at 2:44 PM Rick, I must agree. I am a non-bias person when it comes to gender. Power falls where power may but only the rightful mind will not be destroyed within. Well illuminated by your statement. I must agree. Smile... Verlena
