The Invisible Battle

Chaos ensues People cower in fear They search for something that doesn't want to be found It is successful. We shield ourselves, our loved ones, our neighbors These barriers block reality Shielding us from our demise While shining light on the evil that lurks Nonetheless it seeps It bleeds through Our shining shields stained with hope Now discarded in the streets Now dividing nations As it gains power We lose control As it gains controversy We lose part of us Honesty, hope, history We lose in the face of terror Tears, tombstones, taking with it routine We lose to an opponent we can’t see But argue over Point fingers over Lose ourselves over We cling on to what we know We must hold on to it for as long as we can For if we don’t It will be there to seize it away from us - Taylor White
