I stand as one in the know
that a fall down into the chasm
of surrender and supplication
gives credence only to lies
and not to the strength of a woman
able to plummet and drop
while standing firm on the ground.

One step away from the edge of chaos
that bundles into a million knots
the muscles and sinews of energy
and I take the easy route out
for a stubborn stand won’t shift the sand
that really can’t give a damn
whether I’m up or down
the ladder of evolution.

I woke up one day to a devil society
that makes it alright to give away ground
but the heat rises up to the high
of righteous validation
from the fire of a silent lie.

Though lies be a sheath for the fear
of a relentless criminal stalk
the heart under pressure has failed
and keeps the mind in a whirl;
dizzy, you see, from a fall ~
and this land is the cause of it all!

Understanding thoroughly, Helen. Well said. Sometimes, it is overwhelming.

Thanks DLY and jo for the read. Sometimes we stand, sometimes we bend, and sometimes we do the wrong thing but always we honour ourselves deep within from whence the support and the chastisement comes.

"and not to the strength of a woman

Martie - yes, you know it is so.

Jwesley - cats indeed!

And women/cats can't help being "enlightened beings" - they're just made that way. Enjoyed your response.

Sandra - thank you - very much!
