The Overlooked Privilege of Souls

​

“The Privilege of Souls” souls can not be spoken for

but we can have the privilege of learning one

and it is with such knowledge

that over time with acquaintances, you feel your hearts become “one”

sometimes the people we have the closest

do not have the souls we desire

but the unknown man on the street

somehow lit a fire

in the back of your mind

you have underlined

the knowledge of their eyes

to be so great

that your world has expanded

and so imagine what our world could then be

should we give everyone a strong look in their eyes

 

if every soul was a true democracy

if we ventured so far as to not listen to persuasion and platforms

but we took advantage of the privilege that exists to know a soul

such as my words on this paper

a poet and a woman

who in her soul believes

words can change someone's world

the world

and all of our

flames may be one ignited by the fuel my pen sets to this paper

my flint is the

ink and the outcome, the steel

and so exists the heart that you guard

from this cruel world
