Adversary

I’m feeling poetic this morning, probably because this is Poetry month.

Adversary

*** Sweet, soft, and vulnerable,

weaknesses she encased

in a bullet proof mantle

behind her emotional shield.

This Amazon of the ghetto,

warrior princess of the streets,

didn’t know she needed saving

until faced against a greater authority.

Captured firmly,

She ceased resisting,

conceding to the

significantly better opponent

that trapped her in its snare.

She surrendered to the victor,

Love

in the arms of her

Ghetto warrior ***

Thank you!
