Strengths

 

Compassion is not weakness.

It is a strength.

Empathy is not weakness.

It is a strength.

Sympathy is not weakness.

It is a strength.

 

So, it is my only guess,

that those who fear

our strength,

your strength,

are making rules,

to save themselves;

 

From the cascading

torrents of the emotional

complexities of being a

genuine human-being, that are

about to be wrought upon

them. In waves of dissention

and objective derision.

 

A call to action,

not to arms,

a call to our strengths,

and willingness to feel

and see the world through

the eyes of others, others

not as fortunate or lucky.

 

Action through choice,

action through serious consideration

and recognition that every action

bears consequences, seen and unforeseen,

yet we must continue the struggle

against those that view our strengths

as weaknesses.

 

We, through these strengths,

can create, build and advance;

pushing the potential of our

progress with muscled shoulders,

that have borne the weight of

history; our words commanding,

“No more falling backwards.

We.

Push.

Forward.”
