Poem
VERSE 1 We were young and strong, We were only kids when we started striving At 8 I left my parents for friends, together we voiced the streets paving ways for a future we know nothing about Endangering our lives, being addicts to some substance An attack on one of us, is an attack on all of us, was our attitude Taking risk our parents was unaware of, making moves hoping would brighten our future after being in the dark since birth. CHORUS THE TRENCHES is not for the weak but the strong What one generation tolerates, the next generation embrace Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; The most massive characters are seared with scars We are the alchemist of pain, wielding the power of divinity to transmute suffering into strengths. VERSE 2 It's a resolution for greatness, that was our theme or motor That spirits birthed in us kept us going, even when we were at the edge of relenting. So many times we prayed but still have to wait for an answer We cried for help, excuses was our answers. But we cannot simply sit and stare at our wounds forever CHORUS.... VERSE 3 Religious war have taken the lives of many, all in the name of money and supremacy, while my parents keeps telling me oneness. The Governments don't bothers, they keep on showing supremacy Looting and deceits is their agendas While my parents keeps telling democracy, the system is not for the TRENCHES CHORUS.... VERSE 4 Nowadays youths had gone crazy, they only do what is instant gratifying Men of integrity are now slaves, to men of dishonesty People always looking for ways to survive, so many now lives in trauma Because of a future filled with uncertainty We forget to fully live in the present, unaware that, what deprived us from fulling living now Would also deprive us from fulling living in the future, from pains to pains, day by day. CHORUS.... VERSE 5 We walked side by side, having each others backs, with love stronger than fear Telling ourselves life is stronger than death, even when we know death is inevitable With our hope stronger than despair, taking risks so we can thrive Unaware of the enemy within, within our cycle there's another Plotting our ruin, just to to take our place, but glad discernment was our guard. CHORUS....
