The indomitable spirit pounds

With fists of flesh and bone

Against the cold concrete walls

Of ignorance.

The un-lumbering mass

Remains unmoved.

No sound seeps through

The stubborn stone.

The meat of human flesh

Bruises and swells,

Ruptures and bleeds

Staining the set mortar.

Blood permeates the stone,

Graffiti testament

Written on the walls

Of ignorance.
