THE VICTORIES

The victory of the cowards often hurts very badly
The victory of the cowards destroyed
The victory of the brave care
The victory of the brave cures

The victory of the brave is brilliant
It makes the rain shine
The victory of the cowards is dark
She perturbs the sun

The victory of the brave leaves good memories
But the victories of the brave can very quickly be forgotten

The victory of the cowards has in common with that of the brave that they both can last very long.
But one never really knows its duration.
They both bring happiness or pain indiscriminately.
They make us cry.

And sadly, it is the fear, the money, or the violence and the weapons that animates it.
And the brave can become cowards, and it is rarely the opposite when the cowards become brave.

In the victorious syndromes, only love saves. It comes through understanding and not through despair.
The dead do not know the victory.

Sorel LACKMY (nov.2016)
