Good morning,
Citizens.
This is a warning.
Magnificent
isn’t it.
The dawning
of a new day.
The drawing of a new blade;
each one comes
prepared to be
the last one
we will ever need.
It all depends
on where we place
our eyes.
Look up to the sky.
Bow your head a little.
Clear your mind.
Sit up straight.
We’re trying to align your spine.
Do this now,
or do it in
the afterlife.
A little insight
goes a long way
and you’ll need
all the help
that you can get today.
Believe me.
The universe knows
the things you don’t;
infinite discourse,
endless hope.
Unending suffering,
but a chance we’ll cope;
just make today
one less bitter thing.
Breathe deep
and feel all the world
fall away.
Don’t carry yesterday’s pain
into today.
Those things
that cling too tight
might need to be cut away
with the new knife
of a new day.
The storm is coming.
I need you at your best.
The strongest you can get.
Find strength you haven’t
needed yet.
Take up your blade,
the dragon’s come.
You’ll find out soon
the future
will be full of them.
Breathe deep.
Stand straight.
Stand tall.
There won’t be victory
for us all,
but there will be purpose.
