Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

But if only....not.....still, hope survives. Great job with this one.
Concise, powerful poem about an important topic!!
Why did you end it back again. You had the power in this poem where the masses got rid of this nasty king . Lol
"Behind all kings and presidents, all government and law / Are army corps and cannoneers to hold the world in awe / And sword-strong peoples own the Earth and ride the conqueror's car / And liberty has n'er been won, except by deeds of war." Arthur Desmond
Concise and redolent of conquest! I could only live vicariously through the media as a fellow Canadian, but the sheer size and raucous energy of the "No Kings" protests proved to be inspiring!
