Pounded.
Digital images
of artificial worlds,
perfect people,
and white teeth
Pounded.
Serious faces
spew grim realities
of a world
of gray.
Pounded.
Allies say
it’s “them.”
We need to rebel
against rules.
Pounded.
Many individuals
collaborate against
the trend,
“Do it our way.”
Pounded.
Uncertain thoughts
within your head
What is right, wrong?
What is.
Pounded.
with hammers
on the soul
until weak.
Hope is depleted,
falling.
Pounded.
To the core
of being
where life sparks
and surges.
Pounded
to the dense
Essence that
will not just
sigh.
Pounded,
yet not failing.
Clawing back
to see and
stand.
Pounded
on the surface.
Strong inside,
Living,
Being.
