Cherokee word meaning stand alone.


Poem Artwork

There comes a time
when number one should sublime
and this is no crime
even if it involves slime
of course you might have
to do time
Locked in a cage
jotting on a page
so as to learn to control that rage
Once free you may learn to act
your age
or react more sage

But you stood alone and
did it your way
Knowing that you miight have to pay
You charged on regardless of
what others say
The regrets may be large
but it's just the price we pay
for being in charge

What's right to others
maybe be wrong for sisters and brothers
even fathers and mothers
Right and wrong may dictate big
but it's truly up to the individual
to be chicken, cow or pig
Chitterlings stink
the smell may make some eyes blink
but some still eat
because they like the funky meat

OPG,

This was so open and honest. And for me, you hit a nerve. I guess if you can do that, the writing is excellent.
