Ileterate child

 

Illiterate Child

 

Sitting

Holding his sword

Ready to lift the veil

From the thing  he calls the truth

Ready to leave and impact

Not only

By using his sword in the right way

But  by using his ideas

Holding the sword

The sword to fight the battle

 

*Well not a real battle at that

 

But a battle within himself

A battle of struggling words

Of struggling ideas trying to come out

 

 

He prepares himself for Action

But he cant do anything about it

He cant use his sword

He cant be heard

He cant fight the battle

For he was the illiterate child

This is touching and so very true. You captured the frustration of having so much to say and give and unable to convey it. Nicely written.

[Nancy Lee Shrader]

You are the first to enter my contest. Very nice work.

Such imagery...great piece of work/art here...this is really good. You certainly know how to reach down into the readers heart and make them feel your message! Outstanding work!
