Fighting the Embrace

We have taken up arms Against what has been rejected Inoculated ideology To prevent perfection from being infected All energies focused on creating A world promised, yet not attained Hiding sins and transgressions By jailing the saints Cycle after cycle set to repeat Medal adhered, firmly, to the feet Ride on, brother and sister ....ride on But try to make it count Reason every season Walk the talk To reveal what LIFE is all about Outside, in depth Everywhere you go Exposing or hiding Someone will always know ....secrets It is the fear of what will be That holds the power of what we see ...as true Perception of self, destroyed Identity, armed and deployed ...as worthless So tired of the fight Just wanting to be known, in life Fully embraced and accepted Judgment pulls the lure Invites and adjures To idealize the perfected ....idol Written by Trudy Schrader on 03-04-2023
