We are cut from the same flesh
borrowed ribs
sinew
naivety
Exposed in our softness we are
invisible
a potential afterthought in the
lexicons of history.
But sometimes, my Son
you must lay down your life
if you wish to
change
the
world.

afterthought's forethought. commit to the path no matter where it takes you, and stay the course. you will get there in time.
I need this just now. I'm thinking about doing something useful and I need to follow through.
I'm glad it inspired you!
Wow. The ending is powerfully stated!
Thank you!
Sometimes ideas just pop in my head...usually at breakfast.
Or when I'm not paying attention at someplace I should be paying attention.

Ok well FYI it is distracted driving awareness month so hoping you're at least paying attention to the road

LOL meetings are prime for poetry!
Nothing screams zone out and day dream. Especially if it's a teleconference!

I know right!
This is brilliant. I love the first stanza, your structure and choice of language gives it a real poetic brutality.
That is incredibly encouraging to me; thank you so much!
