Sifted Sand Against Bricks of Bone

Sifting through the things that I need versus the things that no longer serve me:

People that make me uncomfortable
People that have too many opinions about every subject. To me that means they have a scattered focus. They drift to and fro without a concise resolve
They pattern without purpose
They wither and faint 
Their bones shiver when they see war

But I will fight for them
For my sister who fears no tomorrows
To the woman who sits behind blind eyes
Without resolve she awaits the pleasures of the world
