Tom Valles Poet Couplet

Which Vic?

Which Vic are you, in your estimation?
Are you Victor or Victim in your meditations?

Are you Victim because of your circumstances
Or Victor who lives to exploit second chances?

Are you Victim because your health is failing
Or Victor to fight with faith prevailing?

Are you Victim when wealth has made itself wings
Or Victor in hard work, building new things?

Are you Victim in love, afraid and alone
Or Victor to go and give out your own (love)?

Are you Victim in mental distress or depression
Or Victor in prayer and intersession?

The two words begin with the same three letters
One leads to freedom, the other to fetters.

Oliver Mckeithan February 18, 2025 at 1:07 PM Excellent poem. Well said. Sometimes I need to break the victim fetters. Tom Valles February 19, 2025 at 5:45 AM Oliver, I think we all have some victim fetters from time to time. I know I have struggled with them. Thanks for writing and for your encouraging words.
