With Greed We Lose

A reality full of despair;

Sad eyes fill the rivers flowing to the hearts of the world.

A creation full of regrets and what ifs

where hopes disappear in the silence of night.

Streets no longer busy,

parks void from sounds of laughter,

classmates, teachers, and co-workers become cold screens.

A world without humanity is simply a word too quiet.

Flames of life extinguished before their path is complete.

A sea teems with souls; everlasting sorrow left on hearts.

Scars on faces of warriors

create reminders of the sacrifices made.

Watching the passion in the eyes of humanity fade.

When will the sun break the dark clouds cast over us?

A new way of life for all starts here but

can we move on to our new lives with a clean conscience?

Will we continue until we can fight no more?

Did we do enough?

will we overcome or fall into our own stubbornness and pride?

Will there be rapture or misery?

Let us greet the end together, standing strong.

In humbleness we survive

but with greed we lose.
