Life

Life I live in a dangerous world, where nothing is what it seems. I have seen the strongest men weep like children torn from their dreams. I have seen the wisest of men falter in the path they have made for others. I have seen unnecessary fighting among even the closest of brothers. Hope is sought after but not found. The only truths we know are lies. Men destroy that which is sacred. Children are left to hear their own cries. Peace is giving way to extinction. Love is being taken away. Death has left her dark hiding place. And innocent lives are lost each day. Pain has become an epidemic. Our days are giving in to dismay. Man has lost his ability to think. Man has lost his ability to pray. But, violence will have its end someday. One day it shall cease to be. Men will think with their heart. And hope shall be set free. Life will destroy the pain of death. Love will conquer the confines of fear. All of our days will end with hope. We will be reunited with those we hold dear. Hate will taste the bitterness of defeat. Souls shall inhale the breath of life. Ignorance will be slain by knowledge. There will no such word as strife. In the depths of our soul we know this day will come. We hope that this is what world will someday be. But until that day finally comes, this is what I will see I will see a dangerous world, where nothing is what it seems. I will see the strongest men weep like children torn from their dreams. I will see the wisest of men falter in the path they made for others. I will see unnecessary fighting among even the closest of brothers.
