Signs Transcend Poem by C H Sund

Signs transcend

Symbols do abound, throughout our world,
some mundane, some unique
language though, will never block the sign…
the sign transcends the scream.

The martyr who begs not at death’s door
knows well his future pose.
Likewise monk in flame with folded hands
gives pause to those that rule

Impassioned rhetoric… always pales,
to symbols strong and true.
Even the tyrants will topple when…
the sign transcends the scream.
