Towering above
stands a man
clad in iron skin,
sheets of copper
draped over shoulders,
taint of green eyes
barren of thought
Below
I am
told to kneel
before the man
who once
would have had me in shackles
and as empty in thought
as the monument
standing before me
Eric Persaud fights for public health.
This is beautifully written and so moving…
Thanks for writing this!
So few words. So much meaning.
Very powerful and deep image in soft words .
Thank you ;)
Good work.
Brilliant. Thank you.
Missed this last month. As I read it now, my thoughts were, “Oh, that’s why.”
