The Strong Poem by Dorsey Baker

The living become
the dead, the tail
become the head,
the well
become the sick,
the flicker become
the flick,
and so to speak,
the strong become
the weak
the pleasure
become the pain,
the sunshine
become the rain,
the flood
become the drip,
the swallow
become the sip,
and
so to speak,
the strong
become the weak,
the strong
become the weak,
every mountain
has its peak and
so to speak,
the strong
become the weak
