Notes About The Poem

Author's Note: This "Trilogy of Non-Violence Advocacy" poem is written in the "Linking Pin Sonnet" form and style, developed by me on January 15, 2007, while studying English literature, creative writing, African Diaspora, and Japanese linguistics at the University of Wisconsin. I invented the Trilogy Poetry Form on June 19, 2020. It addresses three persons, places, or things. Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the USA, Attorneys Nelson Mandela, South Africa, and Mahatma "Bapu" Gandhi, India, all advocated nonviolently with inspiration, thus uplifting worldwide humanity victoriously as the "Trilogy of Non-Violence Advocates!" This Trilogy Poem relates to the person only Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, Attorney Nelson Mandela, President of South Africa, and Attorney Mahatma “Bapu” Ghandi, the reverend father of India.

Trilogy of Nonviolence Advocates Rev King Jr Attys Mandela and Gandhi!

The "Trilogy of Non-Violence" advocates peacefully uplift humanity
Humanity is to behold a peaceful way of overcoming the struggle of life.
Life, where all souls are valuable and with love are diminishing hate
Hate! Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. states, "Driven out by the light."
 
Light of the world for humanity to see shining bright, eliminating darkness
Darkness, which Attorney Nelson Mandela survived in gloomy dungeons.
Dungeon of despair, trying to rent his humility, spirit, and soul without relent
Relent, he withstood, overcame with God's grace, seeking peace, not revenge!
 
Revenge develops turmoil in humanity's mind and soul—"So agonizing!"
Agonizing the spirit to do ill will toward others without peace—Violence!
Violence Attorney Mahama Gandhi pronounced is inferior to non-violence
Non-violence is strength emanating from an indomitable will of humanity.
 
Humanity diligently erased images of the beast, displaying its ugly appearance,
Rev. Dr. King, Jr. Attorneys Mandela and Gandhi defeating such ugliness!
