Comfortable in The Shade
written by: Kenneth Vincent Walker
The more this world
Seems under a spell,
The more it frantically
Spirals out of control,
The more I wanted to
Climb right back to my
Shell, yet I felt deeply
Down in my soul you
Can never effectively
Change the world from
A hole in the ground.
Now I tend to speak my
Mind fostering such deep
Creases in my face amid
The daylight blinded by
The light as I am more
Comfortable in the shade;
But the shadow won’t last
Forever. Sooner or later
A bleeding heart speaks
Out against the wall of
Injustice seen all around
In need of toppling down.
