2008

 

I hear the loud clatter

Explosive rhetoric

I feel death all around us

Creeping loss of innocence

I also witness love

Widespread

Hard to camouflage

Beacon in the darkness

Hope to all who need it

My choice has been simple

To embrace brotherhood

Not so hard to fathom

When focused on AGAPE

[Marvin Lewis Jr.]

I admire the rhythm and progression of this piece.
The way each line painted a wide portrait and then rallied around one word... Agape.
I believe that brilliance is defined in a writer when he or she is able to convey several pages of thought with very few words and the thought not lose its potency.
As always I thoroughly enjoyed reading and this piece along with your other writings are vivid truly brilliant.

Excellent write!
