I have been homeless But never hopeless. I have been jobless But not faithless. I have been penniless But happy nevertheless. I have been laughed at But have never cared about that. I have been downplayed All I did was prayed. I have been talked about, Thrown out, And beaten up... Yet have never given up! My home has been taken But I have never been shaken. When my possessions were removed, I remained resolute and not moved. I have been disenfranchised Ostracized And immobilized... Yet I remained unfazed! I have been used And falsely accused. I have been seriously abused, And my ego bruised. Though my suffering has been long, Yet I have remained strong. I have been called all sorts of names, And unjustly pinned with blames... Like the mighty baobab tree, I haven't been moved as you can see. #IvanBrooksPoetry© 12/6/2018

Not Moved, Not Shaken!

Where can a little stream carry a big stone?
