Lead and Let Light Guide

February 14, 2013

To make it in this world,

You must conquer,

You must be brave

Is that true?

Can you even gain power

In this world of supremacy?

Or are we forever where

We’re at from the beginning?

Is there such a thing as equality?

To show compassion

Is a sign of weakness,

Put to death immediately

Show some teeth

Show some arm

Let them know

You mean harm

Have courage here

And now, make up your mind

Are you here to help or hurt?

Let the light shine through

From you to the dark,

Shine into the eyes of the enemy

Radiate in all directions,

Glow from every pore,

Reveal the path of truth

To make it in this world,

You must conquer, yourself,

You must be brave
