Never Surrender

For My Little Brother

THERE IS MUCH HERE THAT I LIKE AND LITTLE THAT I LOATH
BUT MORE AND MORE THE LOATHING GROWS
 
MADNESS YES MADNESS
SURROUNDS ME IN THIS ONCE FAMILIAR PLACE
 
HOW CAN ONE BELIEVE
WHEN LIES ARE SPOKEN LIKE TRUTHS FROM SAINTS
 
WHEN MY VERY CONSCIENCE
IS BOMBARDED BY WHISPERS OF FALSE SERENITY
 
I SHALL NOT BELIEVE
I CANNOT
FOR MY SOUL SPEAKS NOT THE WORDS OF MY TRANSGRESSORS
 
IT SPEAKS BUT A SINGLE WORD
KNOWN ONLY TO ME AND HE WHO MADE ME
 
I REFUSE TO FALTER
TO GIVE IN TO THE MADNESS
I SHALL NOT SURRENDER THE HOPES OF THIS LIFE
 
I PAY HOMAGE TO THE ONE WHO HOLDS ME UP
WHEN ALL I SEEK TURNS AGAINST ME
 
THE WORD BORN IN MY SACRED SOUL SHALL BE MY BATTLE CRY
AND THE BATTLE CRY FOR THOSE WHO WILL FOLLOW
 
SO STRENGTH TO US
WHO GO TO BRAVE THE LION IN HIS DEN!

For Joshua Marshall's "Lost and Alone" - look up the meaning of your name brother

Proverbs 28:15

"I worshipped dead men for their strength, forgetting I was strong." - Vita Sackville-West

"Nothing is so strong as gentleness. Nothing is so gentle as real strength." - Frances de Sales

Psalm 28:7

There is a time to run so says the Doctor... a time to fight so says St. Augustine... and a time to live and begin again so says the Lord.
