Indomitable



Just keep swimming no matter how hard the current is.  ~Ava (365 Days of Wonder)

Indomitable

I will fight for what is just
I will keep 
swimming
upstream against hate and discrimination. No
matter
how long the battle, no matter how
hard
the fight, I will do my best to change the
current
way the world is.

  1. We have a hard current to swim against these days. Reminds me of salmon on the Columbia River.

  2. Loved how you found the essence of the words
    and played with the word "current." :)

  3. Oh, Mary Lee.
    This one. This one brings me to my knees...

  4. Rather than the lightweight Finding Nemo quote, your poem turns this into something deeper and richer.
