AGAINST ALL ODDS

AGAINST ALL ODDS

A Poem by Rene Velez



I am the underdog
I am at the bottom
Under corporate shoes

I am the rubble
Struggle is my Muse
I am wrapped in her
black and grey hues

I have set my path in stone
Until weak in heart and frail of bone
To wander...
I have no home

I climb the slope
I revel in hope
Granted safe passage
Through Brimstone and smoke

Wars forged by fires
Wars waged by liars

Against all odds
I walk with God

I hope God is walking with us. Poem tell a story of many. Many looking for answers by a world control by the 3%. I like the ending to the outstanding poem.

Seems like being underestimated as the underdog. I like this line:
"Until weak in heart and frail of bone"

This makes me think of Fight Club. Hit zero. Go below and experience enlightenment. This is very strong and philosophical. :) Great write! :)
