Some are willing to give their body
Others their mind
But few will risk their soul
For life has taken its toll
On us all
With its unrelenting draw
Opening its maw
To swallow us whole
As we stroll
Through a strange land
A stranger in every face
Some filled with anger
Many with fear
Turned to malice and danger
Of the unchallenged trauma
A brutal world
Truth obscured by uncertainty
In a land of plenty
Where we die of falsified scarcity
Where the rarity of love
Is held above all others
In a world that seeks to smother our true selves
Just living life
With our passion shelved
