    The Pity of The Meek

    They put us down; they say we’re weak,

    words used to wound, savage verbal beaks,

    our spirits shattered, is what they seek,

    despair starts an inexorable leak.

     

    Personal gloom bring visions of a future bleak,

    inner blackness buffed smooth and sleek,

    feeling useless; warship trying to sail a creek,

    in their fear crushing everything unique.

     

    Sweetness will overpower their hateful reek,

    bookwork, brainiac, nerd geek,

    lame-o, homo, psycho, freak,

    with every vile name strength rises to a peak.

     

    Power and prestige becoming antique,

    oppression dies with a moan, not a shriek,

    across the world we streak,

    pain replaced by the pity of the meek.


    Bryan David Lang

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
