There are times when silence, Silence is a symphony of brilliance As you listen to your inner voice, Voice as it expresses its wisdom in a force, Force, that’s unrestrained in its presence, Presence of dynamic coalescence.
Let your voice reach those, Those whose listening ears, Ears are prepared for change, Change that empowers your hidden, Hidden voice, meditation, whose opinion, Opinion is louder than an explosion.
Explosion of colored hope, Hope that tomorrow’s bloom, Bloom will loom after summer, Summer’s rainbow of flaura pepper, Pepper the sidewalk, parks, fields, Fields of harvests that can only feeds.

As ‘Resistance is Futile’,
Our obstacles remain tangible, Yet, clearly, unattainable. The need to strive to be corrigible Is embedded in our DNA, for hope is always tenable.
Thus: ‘Resitance is (Not) Futile.’
