SIT, STAND, AIM, FIRE!

The secret is to know WHEN to sit, stand, aim and fire.

SIT, STAND, AIM, FIRE!

Sit in silence in the darkness

Listen to the call of doom

Look for purpose in the dawning

In the sparse recumbent room

Stand for something to believe in

Ever making justice known

Soon redemption comes a-knocking

In reclusive somber homes

Aim for truth in undertaking

All that's said and all that's done

When the lights are left a-blinking,

You will know the victory's won

Fire at will in battles ling'ring

Rouge the face of victors' crown

Nevermore will evil prosper

Ever shall the right prevail!

Wonderfully explained and expressed poem! I could almost sing along when reading this for more than one reason. I do wish the letter size was bigger, thinking many would pass over this due to having to strain their eyes. I enjoyed this read a lot. Tyfs

Thank you so much for a lovely review of this write. When I look at the font, it does not appear to be small...I don't know why it looks small to you. ~Sharon

Looks wee tiny to me too, Miss Sharon. Some words I had to guess at. Copied it into word and expanded from 7.5 to eleven. Then I read it very well.

You describe the outlook of someone who is very depressed....a person who can not see past the darkness. Everyone needs a purpose...a reason to put one step in front of the other. When a person finds that purpose, the battle is won and the light can stream in. As always, Sharon, your flawless rhythm and rhyme is a pleasure to read. Lydi**
