… Until the cry is deep
Tattoo This Line Challenge
The safety of society, is defined in glee;
Smile at your fellow man,
Look them in their eyes real deep.
If life is like a prison,
Let it be you who shapes it with a chisel.
There's enough of life's gold,
To fill a broken vessel.
Don't listen to your nemesis, inside your brain.
The condition of this world will hide in pain,
You're the body through which it delivers it's tragedy.
Don't become a part of the problem in society.
Bring about the great reform in all its variety.
It's every face on this earth in your entirety.
Safety instead of gold can be society,
Don't snooze another alarm until the cry is deep.

"your nemesis inside your brain" I mean, it's exactly how it feels at times. Like my worst enemy lives right inside my head, rent free.
This was a powerful and evocative poem, it gave us a strong moral message! Great job! Caitlin 😊
There's a lot of great lines here which are tattoo worthy (all of it, tbh). Nicely written; powerful stuff. Good luck in the challenge.
Such a beautiful poem and well written.
Good job, Caitlin, very deep thinking.
Beautifully-penned CC! I hope that you're doing well my friend! 🌸
Change is hard to bring about but there are times when the small things we do like a tattoo can say a lot. Good job.
Oooooo! This was good Caitlin!! The line I would get tattooed "Bring about the great reform in all its variety." Good luck on the challenge!
Yes!
Whoaaaa, this was so mindblowingly deep! Loved your poem!
