Dispite It All, We Still Sail On

Despite It All…We Still Sail Onward (Apropos Again) Why have we chosen to wallow? Despair. Listen to the ancestors. They did more with less; we have more. Fool! We have boots with straps! Be aware of where they came! Be not deceived and succumbed. Be not a victim of self defeat. Catch a tear and wash it back. Crystal stairways always shatter. Remember the Ancestors who had less. Ye of little faith, know that the faith Of the ancestors weigh heavily on the arch Forever bending against the straight anvil Of nullification and dissimulations; Curving and bending to waiting justice. Survival surrenders nothing to defeat. Liberation is not given; but fought and won. Tears and grief win not battles; neither does despair. Audacious faith and flames of hope and redemption Burn and desolate all fears of defeat and delusions. Despite the roaring sea ahead, we sail onward. Despite the holes in our sails, we sail onward. Despite the waning winds, we sail onward. Despite the empty belly of hell, we sail onward. Despite challenging vicissitudes we sail onward.
