“Acquiesce”

 
“Acquiesce”
 
cji
9/27/13
 
Surrendering in order not to lose
failing to understand failure to be
inviting the jailer to lock the jail
meekly to eat the slop served
to acquiesce to peer pressure
giving away all that they have
even that which is most precious
ignoring the value of freedoms
compromising ones morals
giving up on having virtue
finding endless blankness
darkness instead of light
fulfilling the prophecies of old
a self-fulfilling wish to submit
meekly to swallow poison
holding the door the jailer to lock
inviting failure in acquiescence
surrendering thinking not to lose!
