Strength In Numbers.
When we fail to forget the pain
of the atrocities that have plagued
our existence,
we deny the ability
to overcome those pains entirely.
And while we have the power
..... in our own hearts.....
to better an insane world,
we lose sight that there lies unshakable
strength in numbers.
How else can we promise ourselves
the impowering sunshine
when we constantly put storms
in our way?
And how can we quiet
the enemies of peace......
when we conjure them up with our hatred?
There is no shame in the mirror
if we fight not in our battles.
But we are certain to lose
unless we surrender to the fact...
that victory relies on the help of another.
of the atrocities that have plagued
our existence,
we deny the ability
to overcome those pains entirely.
And while we have the power
..... in our own hearts.....
to better an insane world,
we lose sight that there lies unshakable
strength in numbers.
How else can we promise ourselves
the impowering sunshine
when we constantly put storms
in our way?
And how can we quiet
the enemies of peace......
when we conjure them up with our hatred?
There is no shame in the mirror
if we fight not in our battles.
But we are certain to lose
unless we surrender to the fact...
that victory relies on the help of another.
