Self Satisfaction
The will to live is a sacred thing
Not just a small opportunity
But a message in the service we bring
The purpose to burn and truly trust
The definition people make of us
Are we nameless though we have a name
Fruitless without fortune or fame
Loveless without posterity or mate
Without us what were others fate
Because of you were others feed
Was shelter provided, Holy Blood shed
Have we fought, protest or even mentioned
The case of any human condition
Are we for or against revolution
Have we done more than our shadow or reflection
Has man or history recorded some type of progression
Have you with your voice silenced persecution
Is there someone who does not deserve execution
For escaping a slavery or a holocaust
because of race or color is a freedom lost
Who are we really when it comes to cost
Did we fight to win or our defeat a martyr loss
Can duty be considered a sacrifice
Can we summon courage or even fight
Or loss of our loves the definition of blight
Or be conditioned to forgive after loss of life
Have not heroes given sample for us
When wrongs reach us with bribes and lust
Can we carry the flag or beat the drum
Sing the anthem or to ourselves hum
Can we give ourselves wholly
to the One who is Holy
And be satisfied with who we are?
