Shame

Some

    have

        a

           motionless

               energy.


Some

     harbor

         a

             masterful

                  enemy.


Some 

     habituate

          a

             monotonous

                environment.


Some 

     habitually 

          allow 

               mankind's 

                      errors.


Seldom, 

      however, 

           are 

               memories 

                     escaped.



~P.S. Colley
