An Ode, to be Continued
By the face of opposition
Should our stances be determined?
In a time of desperation
Can our true selves be revealed?
Through a web of false pretenses
Will we find the candid cure?
From the darkness we are ambling
Shed some light upon the sure?
So with all our doubt to tread on
Might we try accomplish just?
And with how our past can haunt us
Do we finish what we must?
Or slip, in bitter sorrow
With a lack of worthy cry,
That every time we sink an inch
The harder it is we try?
‘Cause with heads that bow in grievance
And eyes that close in spite,
We’ll miss the silent fall of then
To find the strength to fight.
