Those unwavering rigid chores,
drench thy very essence.
As the freshly fallen droplets
evaporate before its refulgence;
Yet, thou stand still- invincible in self.
Like the victory banner,
shines amongst the disgrace.
The light goes out, shattering thy very soul-
The monsters, they unravel-
their masked innocence,
Shoving you into a dark hollowness.
But, infirmity can’t touch thy spirit,
For you are indomitable.
So, let thy inner flames
Burn those devilish unkindness
As the forest fire engulfs the wilderness.
