Peace, Be Not Proud (A Reverse Davidian) <br /> <br />Evasive Peace, be not proud <br />That world's entire wealth can't purchase you. <br />Perhaps you'll not be bought for silver, gold, <br />Saphires, rubies, pearls and diamonds too. <br />But dare you say, for LOVE you won't be sold? <br /> <br />Evasive Peace, be not proud <br />That high you dwell, atop a towering tor! <br />Like Bruce's spider, ceaselessly we will <br />Try to heave ourselves right up to your door <br />By scaling, inch by inch, your craggy hill! <br /> <br />Evasive Peace, be not proud <br />That none can see or hear you; so no clue <br />We have to track you down. But we can feel <br />Your presence versus present absence too: <br />Suffices this, your hide-out to reveal! <br /> <br />Evasive Peace, be not proud <br />That you, At'lanta-like, can keep mocking <br />Your chasers all for whom you're much too fast! <br />Like shrewd Hippom'nese, your pathway blocking <br />With 'golden apples', win we shall, at last!<br /><br />Dr. Tulsi Hanumanthu<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/peace-be-not-proud/
