There was little in their heart
But ice
And calculated cruelty.
A wanton abuse of
Power.
Ribald actions of
A misery intended
To inflict.
The wreck they left
Of any who had
Crossed them,
Threatened to hollow
Even the hardiest
Protest.
And yet,
There were still some
Whose souls
Would not give in
To ugly.
Whose light
Resisted.
Insisted.
Persisted.

Na’ama Y’karah,
Thank goodness for those who have the courage to stand for truth. Mine’s kind of dark, too and close to home.
Shalom,
Rochelle

I like to think there will always be those few, no matter the circumstance.
Beautifully done.

Thank you, Dale! Yes, I’d like to think that, too. History so far has shown that to be true. Now, if only we can have more than just a few …
