The Meek

Matters not who starts a fight

But who is left standing at the end.

Might doesn't make right.

 

Some people use influence

Others their exaulted position.

Yet they say the meek inherit the land.

A contradiction, that's for sure. Throughout history the meek have been ground up to the grist of war. Yet they still persevere and outnumber the strong by many times over.

Right on, George. About the meek and inheritances: Translates to "you'll get pie in the sky when you die (it's a lie!).

Very thought provoking poem. A preacher once explained that meek does not mean weak. He said a calm, wise and gentle man will usually win over a bigger muscle headed moron. He will simply out smart him. Amen!

My father was a boxer and he said it's the valiant who offers the loser a hand to get back up in the ring.

Love ya!

Jane
