To the Beleaguered Who Overcome
A toast to the beleaguered who overcome
Refusing to let setbacks claim the victories,
Who press forward, refusing to succumb,
Claiming laurels, earning the valedictories.
Refusing to let setbacks claim the victories
Success becomes part of their very natures,
Claiming laurels, earning the valedictories
They are the leaders who face down dangers.
Success becomes part of their very natures
Never settling for anything less

The Haunted Broken and Beleaguered Soul
The Haunting Of A Broken Spirit And Beleaguered Soul.
.
Her pricing haunting blood shocked eyes
Reflect her heavy rain cloud acid corroded heart
And spirit broken beleaguered soul
Although in the summer of her blossoming youth
She aged beyond her tender gifted years
Life has took it’s scourging toll
And she can no longer hold back
Her floods of painful

A Woman In White Coat
A woman in white coat
by Bernard Chilambe
The soft touch of the woman in white is felt by people in pain
What this woman does is not plain
She never says much as she is mature
Her clothes describe her heart that is pure
Where does she disguise her image that is not poor?

Beleaguered Battlefield
Beleaguered Battlefield
On site of a past battlefield I had been
Can you imagine doing it over again?
Bloodshed, suffering and senseless death
Right down to the last dying breath.
Lonely majestic eagle flies high overhead
Looking down on site of those once dead
And on the flat plain rain started to pour
