Intricate

 Painstakingly hand-crafted  ......

My right hand shakes when BP’s high,

Plus, I've no vision in one of my eyes,

These limitations contribute to the resulting shapes,

That from imperfections arise.

Stand Your Ground

The Safer Option

 

Is Silence The Safer Option Or A Cowardly One?

This poem essays the dilemma faced by the protagonist when they come face-to-face with the acts of weaponized cruelty and bias crime.
They have been brought up in a faith that encourages speaking out against injustice.
If the protagonist takes a stand against the above, they know that there is the possibility of trouble for themselves, their lives changing drastically.
The protagonist is anxious and fearful and questions if they will be protected by their God if they follow the path set out by Him.
If they choose the path of silence, will they be acting out of cowardice?

Countless Reasons
