PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

the unarguable moral of my freely

expressed thoughts

is as follows

he who can pick himself up and dust

himself off

after having been repeatedly put down

is by measure a far better individual

than I

for simply having had the guts to do so

no matter what the personal cost or outcome

such few individuals are far too rarely

applauded

for their 'Unwavering Moxy'

take refuge in knowing

that a blind man's courage is the most

admirable trait

any one individual could ever aspire to

obtain

after all

Choice

is just one particular term

out of many which we tend to associate

with freedom, democracy and one's

individual rights

are but two more

to name as others................
