The Awakening

Mine eyes have not seen an uglier truth
But the veils of delusion have blinded the youth
We need to wake up to the evil staring us in the face
And recoil from our bondages to get hold of the ace

Yet that sun still shines through thick and thin
A screen concealing what lies within
And 'neath: a world darkening with unrelenting sin
A deceptive land of wholesale transgression

For when we dictated, we spilled justice and mercy
When they did, it was all crime and brutality
This difference sure comes as no surprise
It's known that every vessel leaks what it does comprise

Pour on us, Lord, Your showers of benignity
And grant us in felicity's home the meed of pertinacity
We do not ask for a road effortless and easy
But for victory through the hurdles despite the difficulty

Far off in the distance but within our sight
At the end of the tunnel... we can make out the light
Over that bottomless void there's a glimmer of hope
All will be fine if we hold on to His rope

Never will ebb the faith that's kindled in our hearts
Faith that pushes us on - we've gotta play our part
That by Your will alone, the tables shall turn
That by Your Might and Power, harmony shall return

For its long since inscribed in Your holy writ
The vastness of the earth the godly will inherit
Imperial hubris will lead the evil to their fate
A hemorrhage so strong, opening devastation's gate

The last laugh shall be shared by the righteous alone
A laugh that'll bring about joy unknown.

All credits to: eureka!
(eureka!,Phoenix Blood,TheCheeseball)...Don't you guys just LOVE this poem!?

Awakening

Bright sun
Bursting forth
Into the dawn
Of a brand new day

Golden rays
Streak across the sky
Blanketing the land
With newfound warmth

Manifold lifeforms
Arise from their slumber
To the infinite possibilities
Of this grand awakening

Infinite choice
Presented to all
With the dawn
Of this new day

Do we choose
To let wounds of the past
And fears of the future
Determine our way?

Or do we choose
To stir and awaken
The limitless glories
Within and around us?

May we transcend
Past and future shadows
To dance with the golden rays
Of the newborn sun
