History’s list of heroes is endless

at what price?

What have you built with it?

Networked us out of division?

I saw that

we never were short of heroes

and more, spirits that never broke

a promise not to leave justice

aside for new money increase for own pocket

packed in owned Merc without mercy for the poor

Still stretching out begging theirs…

Prophetic? Hardly

Truth and betrayal still silvering your sight

for no pact, just hungering and thirsting

for justice and peace so

don’t sing me

yesterday’s fight is gone

Tell me where today’s is when

we love to kill with words of differences

and bullets and bombs explode us inside

Tell me where today’s peace is and if you

would a channel be to say not to fear

to injustice? A vessel not breaking, that promise held up?
