We Are Titans All!

We are Titans All! Big and small marching off to the front lines of life every day Overcoming the tides of challenges we all face The roar of War fills our subconscious minds with fear but we soldier on into each new day Martyrs wielding naught but the swords of our pure will to thrive and survive Embattled by the constant onslaught of flat tires, late fees and the Injustice of a world of automated customer service "please choose one of the following" We are hunted by soulless line cutters who haunt airports, parking lots and grocery lines like dementors in Harry Potter's nightmares Yes... We are Titans all! cooking dinners, sweeping floors and making beds working for self-centered bosses who take the credit for anything great we do We heroically get the oil changed and replace our brakes We face down rising bills that must be paid lest we freeze ourselves and our families And...Still the roar and apocalyptic threatening din goes on just over the horizon ....across the sea In order to survive we close our eyes seal up our emotions and march onto the front porch Where we pick up the shovel and start to dig ourselves out from under a freshly fallen foot of snow Titans all! We will dutifully overcome our new day's adversaries .... burst pipes and flooded basements just in time to remember to buy cards and candy for our loved ones and bring home the heart-shaped cake Happy Valentine's Day LoL
