A Warrior Poet's Soul
By Bud Koenemund
(Written: December 2023)
For Christina Alvarado
My mind cries out, profaning the universe;
Mourning, o’er and o’er, this tragedy –
An assault on existence – while cursing
A suppos’d caring god’s perfidy.
I wish I could hold you in my arms now;
Embracing gently; a reassuring
Touch to defy despair and doubt; somehow
Granting peace – a balm easing suffering.
But, I know the strength you possess: spirit,
Resolve, stubbornness, and tenacity;
With a warrior poet’s soul. Sans fear,
You’ll tilt ‘gainst fate for immortality.
I have and will always love you, my Friend;
Sentiment which shall endure ‘til time’s end.

Don't just "Like," Re-blog.
Hey, Everyone!
I have a request.
First; thank you to everyone who "Likes" the political stuff I post/re-blog. Truly, thank you!
But, I ask that -- if you "Like" a political post -- you re-blog it, too. That helps to spread the word beyond your eyes. It just might help one more person to change their mind; or, at least, look deeper into an issue, and think for themselves.
Again, thank you.
- Bud
