Preponderance

The least among us are often the best
Not always in referral to greatness
More speaking about a personality
Before the dive to the abysmal bottom
How lofty and often one may speak
May never never again be reached
The genius that tries be-riddles me
Makes a mockery of my freedom
The giants among us all still rivals
All the attention so badly needed
To separate the good from the bad
Where nothing so spectacular as evil
Ever rule over our hearts and minds
So sojourn on my soldier friends
Marching to the drumbeat called liberty
I follow only that what I can defend
And share hope like rays of sunlight
Breaking through the dense darkness
Above the shouts does freedom cry

About this poem:

Abstract about the loneliness and solitude of conviction, about the desire for freedom and liberty.
Independence and Unity that march side by side is stronger than the forces that separate them.

Good poem Yankee,
Those giants among us are usually driven by enlarged egos in search of self praise.
Liberty is best achieved in contentment.

There are so many kinds of freedom, I think the most powerful is the one we give to ourselves when we let go (we will never forget) the chains we put around our souls or the one's we allow others to put there.
It's so hard to realise that they are there until you lift them up and release the weight of them.

Those only we can remove.

Mick, I'm often amazed of meaning of two very diverse words..... liberty and unity. I think freedom is more closely aligned to liberty and certainly much more individualist versus unity which is more closely aligned to peaceful coexistence. Can you really enjoy one without the other? Chris

Lady, For years, as a civil servant I have worked many long hours. Often, I have deprived myself of many things that would naturally be more desirable than the hard physical labor. Now only a couple days away from retirement, I am feeling a tremendous weight being lifted off from me.

Yankee, very preponderant thoughts here. America is far from living with freedom, liberty or unity. Evil is dominating all levels of society. If everyone can't see that we need an urgent awakening; God, have mercy on all of us.
Hope you enjoy your deserved retirement, my dear poet. SM

hi Chris. sometimes liberation is possible only through unification, which is necessary to separate oneself from the forces of evil. but SM is right, the world is very far from liberty now. It’s hard to say what is Preponderating in the world now. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Enjoy your retirement soon. Lily
