Red War Messenger Transmission Protest Epic

Lost to be found 
and found to be lost 
but you know where you are 
and the confusion of this challenge 
of fear and people of revolution 
and revelation 
of sincere compassion 
and double standards 
of compassion 
leaving the victor lonely 
without satisfaction 
to surrender 
eventually to perpetual 
abuse. 

Everyone knows the answer to this one 
on most days but unaware of their own 
amazing unity they might one day 
try to destroy 
to entertain you and their souls. 

If I could give the key away 
right now 
right here 
I would and just have 
but the simplicity underlying everything we consider to be complex 
the fate of procreation 
and its controversial 
previously unforeseen 
loving population control 
foreshadowed by previous honored silences 
and haunted by open seas and skies 

The triangle 
you do not see 
holds much sovereign sanctuary 
that all sides within converse 
and all sides without protect
