State of Determination - A Poem In Solidarity With Prisoner Hunger Strike

State of Determination

The circumstances of life at times can be unkind

Truly testing your will power and state of mind

Faced with daunting obstacles you feel you cannot climb

The determination in your eye now seems predestined to die

No matter how hard you try

it appears you can’t shake the feeling and state of mind

That there’s nothing left to lose as you already lost all there was to gain

Reaching the pinnacle of your own anguish and pain

Gruesome despair

Is so thick in the air

It is choking the life out of hope!

Just cant seem to keep it alive

Regardless how hard you try

But even then you must continue to strive!

There is no honor in retreat when you give up in defeat!

Regain your battle stance and get ready to ride!

With your head held high

Standing on your own two feet and digging in deep

Seeking the physical endurance to push the body beyond what comes easy

Exercising the fortitude and the full strength of your mind

To overcome these troubling times!
