A Survivor's Heart

The survival of the fit, fit to care
About their people; All human beings.
Being human, with this burden to bare,
While others stare at what we are seeing.
A visionary's vision of the world
To be. The world we see slipping away
From every boy and every girl,
Trying to seal their fates within a day.
Survival instincts instinctively fit
Together solutions to their problems;
Problems meant to be solved before they quit
Trying, dying for the chance to solve them.
     You can not question a survivor's heart,
     When it remains strong from finish to start.
