Strength is Truth

Amel M. Jassim



Pride is not power
Quit with those glowers
Don’t descend lower
Your integrity shall suffer
Like a rainbow shine and shower
Your goodness with every hour
Embracing the beauty of every flower
Defending rights with firepower
As truth yields all the power

  1. It’s powerful and beautifully written, inspiring humility, courage, and the strength to stand for what’s right. Truly inspiring
    My superwoman

  2. Such a lovely stanza, it defends truth, encansing it with a sweet taste. Well-written, I do like it.

  3. Humility, simplicity, smile, and love are the true strengths that every person should embrace. Life is short and fleeting, so be like a passerby whose name is remembered for courageously defending rights.

  4. Wonderful, I think the person who adopts the truth in mind, words and deeds is like a living angel

  5. I always enjoy seeing your perspective on the deeper matters of life, expressed through your poetry. Truth can be such a powerful, intimidating force and yet bringing truth to light sets us free. Amel, you have been given this gift of strength and I admire your willingness to sacrifice your personal comfort in order to help others discover their own strengths as well.
