If quiet on wrong
I am piece of furniture
I shall speak, evolve
Being effulgent, content
I am sober, self faithful

It is good to be faithful to one's self :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best to you --
Thank you for dropping by.
DeleteI love the word effulgent. The definition is so wonderful: shining brightly; radiant. I love learning new words. I loved your poem which was so complex in tone. PS thanks for visiting me during my Blitz. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Mary for your kind words....Keep Visiting
DeleteWe should never lead a furniture life ... well said :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for appreciating.
DeleteTo be faithful to one's self is important and being quiet doesn't mean that you are silent. Well-penned.

Yes exactly, if we are true to ourselves our inner self confidence is matchless.
DeleteI like that you are evolving and not remaining a couch potato.
ReplyDeleteLife is to grow Dolores.....thanks for your kind words.
DeleteI very much agree with your voice - it is wrong to be silent when we know something is wrong, we must be faithful to our beliefs and values and not afraid to speak up and take action. A very nicely written verse!
ReplyDeleteThank you Josie for appreciating.
