Grace and Dignity.

Poetic Licence

Grace and Dignity.

 

When the gates to eternal peace and freedom

are unlocked.

Walk through them with

Honesty, Grace and Dignity.

Unlike the way you lived

Your life.

Because it is way more than

You deserve.

    This poem is full of contradictions that boggle the mind. Unlocking something eternally locked and how do you lock up freedom? How does one walk through with honesty, grace, and dignity when one has not lived that way, especially with it being more than one deserves. This sounds like political claptrap before an election where all is promised and nothing given, straddling a fence as the best defense. A fun read and well designed a fave Oh by the way Tobani are you running for office?

          Sometimes some things just need to be said & or written down .. I prefer the dual approach .. Well poemed my friend .. Neville

          Your words cut deep, but true grace rises above bitterness. Perhaps peace begins when we release the need to wound.

                  A-fucking-men. That is all that I can say to this. THIS...right here...is all one needs to know. They get this right, they'll be alright! Well done, my dear friend. Well done! A major standing ovation and fave. Pulling out the brolly now, in case the heavens open up to agree! 😂

                    • Tristan Robert Lange

                      On another note and another read through, the opening to this very much reminds me of good ol' William Blake: "When the doors of perception are finally cleansed man will see things as they truly are: Infinite." Again. well done!
