Daily writing prompt : Who is your favorite historical figure?


The cemetery is filled

with strong and sturdy women and men

historical relics

who thought they could win


Using potent words

delivered with a flair

to solve created issues

filled with hot air


Some famous for war

others for peace

there is turmoil

in the west and east


In modern times

the issues remain

attempting to communicate

and ease the pain


Part of the past

but not of history

each of us solves issues

small daily victories


Perhaps a Florence Nightingale

saving lives as a nurse

teaching others how

to be a blessing not a curse


In the field of science

there is Albert Einstein

explaining the universe

a tapestry like a fine wine


Reading the headstones

historical figures added in time

searching for words of wisdom

that will help humans climb
