Structural Being

To be, many questionable reasons not to be 
To find true existence breath my air 
Life I owe something even if just to be 
I give my all my God lead thou journey 
A revelation to kindness of love our birth 
As a nation a bond many share alike 

Prosperous for happiness without conflict for drama 
Peace seekers of the land walking darkness plague 
Where is it we are disrupt the serpent bite 
We stand not to live given up all hope 
We the people being dictate radical war rage 
Society ruled foreign nationals out for blood 
Is it enough we kill our own out spite for hatred 
Heart's grown weakened depths without care 
Who is the man while dreams fade like fog 

We are one together our success with provision 
Become something more in life bigger than dreams 
Be different our steps are seen not cover 
Structural being, portrait stand storms crossing 
We rebuild after tear down, making brick and mortar 
Steel foundation indestructible walls reach sky 
But do we become hard ourselves beaten down 
Who are we our demise walks grim reaper call to grave

It's a powerful, deeply moving poem. This captures the raw friction between human vulnerability and societal chaos.

Thank you, glad you found reading to be pleasurable so to speak. I feel there's many things stand for but today's society I can not stand with. It has become as corrupt as people who come as well as those of citizens themselves. I agree in law and government but looking at conditions others have live is inhumane but goes show you evil among man's heart. All mankind hate another for some reason but without solution power exceeds grow evil. What is it we become vs who we used to be?
