Survivor

A Poem by Marlon Ferguson
"

Just an observation...

"

Time marches on

The good days are not gone

You’re a survivor

Power drives the levers of control

Hatred seeks the bottom of our soul

Money travels anywhere it pleases

Sex can never satisfy, it teases

Find faith in yourself

And rely on nothing else

You’re a survivor

 

Lawyers claim to rule the planet Earth

Doctors know what’s best for us at birth

God may lend his hand if we reach out

Satan laughs whenever we’re in doubt

Live through your own eyes

Don’t be fooled by their disguise

You’re a survivor

 

Conscience is the savior of mankind

History is the teacher of the mind

Progress always seems to have its way

Solace is the price we always pay

Hope can never fade

So continue unafraid

You’re a survivor

 

Magic is the dream of what can be

Music is the light that helps us see

Forests are the mothers of the air

Water is the lover we all share

 

Lao Tzu says “the Now” becomes “the Way”

Forget about tomorrow, live today

 

Time marches on

The good days are not gone

You’re a survivor

It is so refreshing to read a real positive sentiment in poetry. Most of the poetry i read is from Writer's Cafe. Thank you for the uplifting message. It is a powerful mantra, beyond pleasantries- It seems to get more ethereal as the poem progresses.
