Our Identity
What defines us awes us
What sums up in this unending sojourn that we call life
Each offering different taste to us, depending on the façade that’s dominant
In this multifaceted itinerary, the valleys we must cross,
The unknown lands we must journey to
Like Abraham, taking on the green light and matching into unknown
To fight unknown enemies and slay imaginary ghosts
We are defined by grit to take on the sharpest blades and skillfully
Discerning what to do with them
Simply because it harms the conflicting side doesn’t mean it spares us
A blade knows no direction, respects no flesh in as much as its thrust
With this truth, in this light, we are armed with the double-edged sword
Encompassed with knowledge never to perish but to relish in slaying
The only enemy we know, fear
Scars, sure sign of resilience
We tried and failed and got the experience of what it is
to set sail in the rough seas
In not waiting for the cool because the savior whispers, be still
He calls out tranquility because he knows it roars,
Sometimes it gets rough, sometimes it breaks banks
Greatness lies in faith to restore serenity
So we arise to the occasion and shine
With wit to overcome whatever threatens to overshadow us
Whatever whispers that we can’t do it
Deconstructing evil in hood of good and with our consistency
Demystify shear nimble masquerading as perpetual light
So with infant steps we begin, for He is our strength
With disappointment to fail tackling stronger bones,
We go back to milk, enduring uncomfortable weaning
When expected to just grow fast,
Hoping to tear apart the lion’s jaws like Samson
To provide foreskins, evidential of our hard-earned success like David
Because we march into that forbidden territory,
Not because we have done it before but
We are willing to do it
And so,
Seven times we shall match
With our last breath we shall blow the horns
And the walls shall be brought down!
