War


      
The never ending war like my father said
As we fight for what’s living and for what’s dead
Not just in people but the ideals we stand for
Never has the urgency been this high before
As individuality has been quantified as a loss
With a cult message no matter the cost
I hope that we continue to fight to the day
So at the very end there’ll be more words to say
I won’t live in fear I’ll fight for what’s right
The goal the plan is to bring the truth to light
So that one day I can tell my son
That he won’t fight this war that’s begun
That one day he can express without being shunned
That his thoughts won’t be the only ones
Opinionated politics have given this war a name
Social media has left us with nothing but shame
Standing while seeing the war around me
Continuing the fight is the future I see
