Chasing Grief

Unwavering Faith

Unwavering Faith

Jul 09, 2023

"But I pray you imagine 
The citizens who want no part in this 
And those forced to fight in the margin 
To kill or be killed until all lives cease

"And those slaves whose wants are basic needs 
Not for themselves but for their families 
Are further enslaved for the riches and greeds 
Of lords who pay to side with the great Achilles

"Those slaves die first 
Not because of swords forced through their guts 
But because they cannot quench even their thirst 
Nor can they deny their lord; no ifs, no buts

"In wars, they cannot escape 
If they run away, they might as well be bait 
To be left by the lords to take their shape 
To impersonate their person and take their dying fate

"Alas, such a world is bound to exist 
Once Pandora's Box opens and only hope remains within 
The choice was theirs, for greatness they insist 
To take power and command the world they live in

"This I was bound to respect 
I allowed free will for your intellect 
Since then, the world was led by your kind 
I trusted the system and values you designed

"All through ups and downs never did I lose faith 
For I created you, how could I ever hesitate? 
Despite the triumphs of evil that reduce the Earth to a wraith 
There is always someone who stands up against the state

I have always loathed greed and slavery. I am you just as you are me, yet you treat those like us as if they are nothing but dirt. People are hurt. People are killed. All these happen yet One stands atop us and only maintains faith that we can resolve this. How? I already lost you.
