The Middle Way Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

The Middle Way

Rating: 5.0


Use all righteous power. Available.
At obtained mastered disposal.
Protector sheltering all people
while protege of sworn state.
Realized ideal fraternal commander.
To exercise enforce authority.
Must not error egotistical dominate!

Silent supreme steward soldier.
Stands loyal patient unyielding.
Must be wise just discerning adaptive
tolerant honest inspiring strong.
Strong in endurance determination
but not fierce irrational moody man.
Yet fierce assertive if evil opposes.

Soldier ruling not solely electronic
by means machines computed
wielding new flame powered sword.
Look toward freedom enlightened living.
Ply measures merciful humane directed
to safeguard Tomorrow’s yet unborn child.
Enlightenment. Attained quest of Buddha.

Flinch not from requisite truth.
Scars fall pierce same sources.
As did old targeted wounds.
It is time. To find a noble path.
To die in attempt. To delve for.
Flaw in hidden heart’s doorway.
Walk risen above savagery.

Injustice beyond endurance.
Bravery leads sacrifices painfully
courageously to martyrs’ own end.
Vented source smouldering
temper inspire enlightened ideals.
Is it better? A peaceful end?
Without pain that restores heals?

Well-edited very smart writing. Words are heavy to carry the meaning properly. So smooth the reading experience of such an universal quest, poetically it stands in height of aesthetic. Flinch not from requisite truth......well-adapted self-confidence to confront the dark. Actually a classical piece of poetic-work. A poem is not only the contains, but its form of expressing contain is also the major part of an art. This writing has touched the height. And to be a poet... Bravery leads sacrifices painfully / courageously to martyrs’ own end.... Thank you very much....... Regards, 10+++ pranab
