Soren's Trials


Sued three times…

your wrath indicts

Prostate, throat,

and kidney cites

 

Each time you threatened: 

“This is the end”

I wasn’t ready,

mistried again

 

I kept my counsel

and shut you out

The jury hung

to scream and shout

 

Your will or mine,

it’s zero sum

I still live on

—three verdicts shunned

 

(In Tribute: October, 2020)
