Born Poem by Henry Tong

Born

Rating: 5.0


Light is born
out of darkness
witnessed by universe.

Justice is born
out of suppression
witnessed by violence.

Truth is born
out of fake knowledge
witnessed by experts.

God was born
out of randomness
witnessed by order.

I was born
out of exoskeleton
witnessed by dreams.

I like the tautness of the construction of this poem. The brevity is used to pierce the target like an arrow, straight and true. You word choice is definitely spot on. A perfect 10+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
