This week's O.S.I. prompt is conquer. Here is my impression of the word.
Consumed but not devoured
Tempted but not broken
Bruised but not destroyed
Abandoned but not lost
Limp but never lifeless
Fallen but never lame
Accused but never condemned
Penniless but never poor
Weak but never faint
Between but never backward
Distant but never far
Foreign yet set apart
Unknown yet gifted
Wanderers yet destined
Forsaken yet forgivers
Despised yet esteemed
Oppressed yet conquerors
