Syllabic Verse (5 syllables)
Dwelling in the midst
Of closed eyes, ears, and minds
Rebellious house

To the truth knocking
Closed eyes can’t see the truth
Through shuttered windows
Mutinous minds existing
Behind hostility’s doors

Easy to give,
But so often not given.
Hearts are waiting to receive,
Be kind.
