The heart that fights

When did lust become more important that love?
When did a brief moment of satisfaction become more significant than a lifetime of happiness?
This generation is so caught up in instant gratification that they cannot see the forest for the trees.
They are so blinded by immediate satisfaction that they would not know a good thing if it came up and slit their throat.
They will bleed out through their lungs, only knowing a false version of excellence.
They will burn in the twisted facade of happiness as the bitter ashes rise up into the wind.
Only to be scattered amongst the empty, leaving behind the remains of a broken life.
A life not even worth remembering because their actions brought nothing but dishonor and disgrace.

This my friend, is when you and I will rise.
We will stand side by side, hand in hand, with nothing but truth in our eyes and love in our hearts.
We will walk with pride and exude elegance because we know grace.
We will fulfill the dreams forgotten and fight for the love that was lost because we know that only through love, can there be peace.
We will honor the brave and pray for the soul of the coward. May God have mercy for the pain in which they have caused.
And when the day is done, and the words that needed to be said were spoken, we will rest.
For we will have lived a life so passionate and true, not even death itself can silence.
