Every word
that we hear,
we hear,
and we think we understand,
but do words
really say
what we feel?
Or, would we be better off
with blood,
and tears,
and fire;
because,
we know that those things
have changed the world.
It doesn’t matter what we think,
what we say,
what we want;
all that matters is what we do.
That which drives us
to expend our energy,
immolate our life force,
and be a beacon,
a touchstone,
an instrument,
of light,
of life,
of change.
Life is not a game.
There is no reward.
There is only now,
and we are long past words.
This is the time when minds,
see what worlds they can form.
By the sweat of their brow,
the steel in their hands
and momentum forward.
HG – 2020
