This war has been waging for so long,
desperate poverty of the mind and soul,
broken, battered and bruised,
nothing ever seems to make us whole,
this perpetual cycle of fear and pain,
trying to numb ourselves with more of the same,
this endless desire for survival and gain,
rooted in the lack of self worth and shame,
who created this self fulfilling prophecy,
don’t we get a choice, the blue or red pill,
what you see is what you get, caught
in an endless nightmare with no free will,
honour yourself, you are stronger than you
know, you can see this through,
look into your shadows to seek the truth,
this is the journey to your soul, the real you,
to discover what is true, what you can do,
what you can leave behind, to evolve,
stepping into the new age, forever changed,
as a warrior who managed to solve,
the greatest challenge of her/his/their world,
finding peace amidst the chaos and darkness,
it’s the consequence of hurt people hurting people,
so it’s your responsibility now, to harness,
the power you were born with,
the love and light you can’t suppress and ignore,
be our shining star, our guide through the night,
into a truly peaceful world like nothing ever before.
