Stone Among Clay

As the rightful sentence echoes through sweaty division and humid hostility,

conviction kisses his countenance

while confirmation photographs the cute couple for keepsake.

His outspoken body stands to claim its grip of self-sustained authority;

Shaking fists, clenching reason, straining blame, pointing chalky fingers

with a chalk covered slate

All against the reverberations of righteousness.

Penetrating our eyes to sight

shedding light

decongesting air

darkness disperses

and retreats to the menagerie

of its' owners' hardened heart

for all to finally see.
