Tough Times

in Blockchain Poets11 months ago

I see a man strong and virile
Strength written on his shoulders
Bold and brave
On his right hand was wisdom
And on his left hand was pain
Birth from the toughest times
Bruised by lifes circumstances
Then I knew from hence comes his strength

Tough Time they say birth tough people
Bitten by the ugliest of the world's vicissitudes
Molded by unpleasant moments
Until there's no choices left but to fight
Then I knew from difficult situations comes men of valor

He stood unwavered
Having conquered fear
Guilded to face the world with bravery
The darkest hour no longer dreads him
Lonely path no longer send shivers down his spine
Then I knew Tough times groom tough people
Cowardice is only conquered in a battlefield where only two choices are presented
Fight or die.

the timely nature in which this was written captures the ethos of our current day

Glad it align with the current values and thanks a lot for your contributed comment

Very motivating writing I loved it, the damage over the years make people strong in character and therefore have to have more experience when doing or performing something, in difficult times we know who are our friends and family, some find it harder than others but in the end you have to strive for what is really worth, again great poem ♥

Rightly said, the damage over the years makes one strong and I'm glad you like the writing

A man of strength and valour. Of wit and bravery. These lines of yours are beautiful as they are unique and they speak with such clarity. It's a poem of inspiration and motivation. Well-done @dwixer 🌺

I hope it motivated you in some ways

You have a lot going on here. I like how you begin with a clear observation and straightforward adjectives and imagery.

I would encourage you to try adding more visual details for the reader to visualize and imagine things like born in the toughest times, bruised by life’s circumstances, unpleasant moments, and the battlefield itself.

Nice work.

Thank You, I'll consider adding the visual details. I'm beginning to learn the act of poem writing
