Under The Crust Of A Weathered Boot

Worn boots upon the warm foyer floor,
bathed in sweat and layered in dust,
speak soundly of good will and good men
ever principled in their struggle to rise
beyond the stranglehold of a world
out of their control and
mired in labored transgressions.

Only the strong remain
here among the remnants
of beaten men and battered chains
resolved in fulfilling their destiny

Still they leave such trespasses at the door
under the crust of weathered boots.

You paint a very real picture here!

Sort of a "survival of the fittest" scenario!

Well, done Kevin!

Your timing is emaculate...the way you time your words to make an impact...this last:

"Still they leave such trespasses at the door
under the crust of weathered boots."

You are an exceptional writer, with clear vision.
