Never Give Up

Trophies of failure and plaques of plunder, hang on walls of shame

illumination of the minds eye steeped in darkness and despair,

broken by a beacon of hope,

light that shines like the North star to runaway slaves searching for liberty,

financial freedom to pursue happiness.

cognitive incandescence

illumination of the intellect

a flare to the lost, wonderers of this world, walking without direction.

casting shadows of men’s future, destiny

testimonies of success and accomplishment,

emancipating words acting as light to the blind

parables, stories of mountain valleys, snow capped peaks,

rivers and water falls, ruins of past wars.

words gently lift and propel me from my cerebral confinement

yokes and fetters fall to the wayside

while sitting on the clouds seeing the world as a whole

I look up, as the stars start to align and spell

Never- give- up
