Be Warriors For the Light

Be warriors for the Light 
By Michelle Morris
16/06/2023

It's easy to say 
Forgive and forget
Be kind rewind
Move on, no regrets 

But sometimes
We need to stand up
Fight against the darkness
Be warriors for the Light 

Violence is seldom
The answer
But sometimes
It is the solution

Because bad men
Don't understand
Peace
They only know
Violence

The sword
The bullet
Lead and armour
Rather than
Logic and love

We can only heal 
If we forgive and forget
If we're kind to all
We move on, no regrets 

But sometimes
We need to yield our force 
Fight against the dark souls 
Be warriors for the Light's goals 

Violence is seldom
The solution 
But sometimes
It is the answer

Because bad men
Don't understand
Light
They only know
Darkness
