Poetry
The Overcome
by Richard Hanna
The evil which has it’s way;
he who holds his head too high up
goes down, takes a plan with him
some evil walks this way.
He’s by the pillar of creation
clutching a flame to warm his heart.
It’s igniting the sights he sees
as what he sees is what he needs.
The pressure won’t leave him alone
it’s in his face, and he
feeling so high holy now
has held his head up so high,
ignites like the love of life
to live life day by day.
