Self Satisfaction

The will to live is a sacred thing Not just a small opportunity But a message in the service we bring The purpose to burn and truly trust The definition people make of us Are we nameless though we have a name Fruitless without fortune or fame Loveless without posterity or mate Without us what were others fate Because of you were others feed Was shelter provided, Holy Blood shed Have we fought, protest or even mentioned The case of any human condition Are we for or against revolution Have we done more than our shadow or reflection Has man or history recorded some type of progression Have you with your voice silenced persecution Is there someone who does not deserve execution For escaping a slavery or a holocaust because of race or color is a freedom lost Who are we really when it comes to cost Did we fight to win or our defeat a martyr loss Can duty be considered a sacrifice Can we summon courage or even fight Or loss of our loves the definition of blight Or be conditioned to forgive after loss of life Have not heroes given sample for us When wrongs reach us with bribes and lust Can we carry the flag or beat the drum Sing the anthem or to ourselves hum Can we give ourselves wholly to the One who is Holy And be satisfied with who we are?
