Karen Neary Poet Rhyme

Warrior's Soul

Her warrior’s soul has seen
A hundred wars
Lost in stalemate with no resolution.
A hundred lies
Shroud the truth and honour persecution.
.
Her warrior’s soul has heard
So many torments
Suffered by the weak, with hope extracted.
So many children
Cry in hunger while the world’s distracted,
 
Her warrior soul has fought
A thousand foes
Who fail to honour truth or pay the price.
A thousand causes
Raised to stem the flow of sacrifice
 
Her warrior’s soul has walked
Too many miles
She seeks the shadowed mist to pass the helm.
Too many lives
The spirits call her to the blessed realm.
 
Her warrior’s soul will hold
A single star
To guide her to the path that calls her fate.
A single wish
To see this world reborn and free of hate.

Vince Suzadail Jr. July 13, 2008 at 5:06 AM Once there is universal acceptance, once we can look at a person and see a person, not color, status, religious belief, etc., Once we can just accept one another as we are, this can be reality. Wonderful write. God Bless. Vince
