Defiance

In the end, it is our defiance that redeems us. ~ Mark Rowlands

 As chaos reigns

And the stupid grow 

In numbers

 

The winds of defiance blow

The sane hear the calling 

To stand and be heard 

 

Knowing well that 

Their numbers are less

Yet the voices of reason gather

Yes, this is what we need to hear in this grim time. You know how to say so much so briefly.

John, thank you for reading and sharing. Yes, we are stepping deeper into the darkness daily. I refuse to go quietly!

[Carlos Lorenzo Estrada]

Excellent piece of poetry. Now more then ever in these difficult times truth must stand defiantly against the comfort of indifference. We owe it to those whose art inspired us to our own. Again excellent work my friend.

[MCS]

Carlos, you are so right. We all need to speak and be heard. Thank you for your very kind review. It's so very appreciated.

Superb, I'm becoming defiant once again! Is the emblem above your words your own artwork, does it mean defiance!? I would have that as a tattoo, if I was younger ;) Mark Rowlands, sounds familiar to me, is he a writer/philosopher on the animal mind, something to do with wolves...

[MCS]

You are correct. Mark is a writer and philosopher. He’s written extensively about dogs and their inner workings. The line art is just boarder art that I’ve collected. Thank you for your comment. It's much appreciated.

I've just been through my book list, of the books I've read, and the books I want to read, and there he is! He's a very interesting character for sure, thanks for jogging my memory...

[MCS]

I'm so glad it worked out this way :)
