To Endure
To endure, the ragged edge, of the sharpened blade of
Ignorance, and tolerate the
Stinging words of prejudice or malice’s intent!
Do not they, the a shunned walk away standing tall, proud
Shoulders back heads held high, from the crowd of their
Accusers, whom have no evidence against them,
Behold the strength of endurance with each step forward!
Within the darkening world of silence, the deafening man,
Struggles to survive and yields to the strangers open hand,
Seeing in fears lit corner, the light of hope and understanding,
To except limitations momentary lapse, yet now knowing
He’s not alone, he’ll thrill in the strides of the future,
And thus endure!
The patriotic soldier fights on his nation’s behalf when called upon,
Yet it is a war of politics not honor, for which he thus sheds his
Dearest blood, but poor Johnny American shall not surrender
His countries pride nor gun, he’ll take that distant hill of victory, no
Matter the cost of life or limb, for he is a son of the U.S.A.
And endurance’s runs through our very veins of freedom!
In a world of plenty, the hungry child screams within the night
Of blind ambience, unable to stand, crippled by the echoing
Voice of silences deafened ears, yet in the wake of tragedy
Hopes eyes smile in the flickering candlelight of darkness,
It is the angel volunteer whom carry’s the milk of human
Kindness, and the bread of humanity, thou to endure!
As the block hand of the abuser is restrained by justice,
A child of innocence emerges from their hiding place of
Sanctuary, to feel the sunrays of peace at last, to walk
Amongst world of the loving, and dream of a brighter
Future ahead, behold the new generation, to endure
Breaking the cycle, and choosing a better path to life!
At point of no recovering from the pains inflicted, the human
Soul begs for releases final judgement to take them, yet the
True cure of time and faith may sustain them beyond this point
Of no return, is it not true that prayer is God’s personal e-mail
Address, to endure until the cure maybe found, can it really hurt
To believe in something that thee cannot see?
What does it mean to endure, to concur the obstacles placed
Before you, with courage’s strength never to lose hope,
To stand your ground with prides understanding in faith,
And by ignoring intolerance cling to thy brethren’s side,
Sharing the heavy burden of life together as a species,
With these building blocks of the future, then we shall
Truly know what the words of endurance mean,
And comprehend!
