The Down-Trodden Bastard Still Blesses You
At the caravan's rest two prayers I say
one for the mothers all children need
and one for the children who follow and lead.
The mothers all children need
the children of the children of the children
who follow and lead, follow and lead.
Deeper than those things one can decide on
go these whispers reaching infinitude
where the loudest roars also roar in tune.
These sighs reach right out to infinitude
and the roars also roar in tune
serene; harmonious; cries also crying in tune.

There's so much depth in this poem. Love the title as well. A quality read!
