MeeK Soul



By Chris Commodore © 2024

Meek soul I am.
I’ll wait for you;
No, wait on you.
Always, I’ll serve.
When your spirit fades,
I’ll be here forever.
Wherever transplanted;
Yes here, there, everywhere,
Where you’ve killed off your brother,
Your wife, your kin and mother.
Yes, I will BE here,
Ready with my own spirit,
Surviving with grit,
Soaring high like the eagle.

About this poem

A short meditation on the general eroding and deterioration of society at large and how those most oppressed and marginalized will be the very ones left and upon whom it will be expected to pick up the pieces and rebuild.
