I Am

I am, so you will never win.
I am, so be.
Be, full of hatred,
march to where dictated
and win the battles, so sacred.
Free me of my home,
while the rest debate if,
humanity is involved.

Negotiate for ways that conflicts can be solved,
so each and every side benefits till’ calmed.
Carve up a map and say we have resolved,
until the sun flies again and falls towards the dawn.

Let me be a pawn,
in the politics we adore.
Entertain with colors,
until they reach your door.

Speak, fight and do so loudly,
represent your side, all too proudly,
so that writers immortalize the days of how, we,
wrote another chapter in this book of war.

I am, so you will never win.
Be, as we all lost.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
