Description
For those that believe in a God up above
And those that do not, but have undying love
I pray for those that have lived in despair
And those that have not opened up to be there
For it's not who or what that you choose to have followed
it's only yourself that could fill those blank hollows
And to follow yourself is to follow that being
that one true thing that has given you meaning
Awaken now from the pain of your grind
And shed new lights to the void of your mind
To live the life that you thought you've been given
is to ignore the life that you've truly been living
And when the end comes to say that it's time
And asks us what was to say is The Crime
For it's not unto others that we have done wrong
but unto ourselves we have weakened the Strong.
If you could see the way we've been living
there'd be less the taking and more of the giving

SUPERB written work! I've learned(over my years and through good and not so good times) that my 'test' for myself is a simple one: When I look into the mirror and the guy I see staring back doesn't blink or avoid my stare, I take that as a 'victory'. My BEST to you and yours, KIND SOUL. TallPockets/brian.

Shephard Book (now there's a name) from the sci-fi series "Firefly" and the movie "Serenity" once said: "I don't care what you believe in, just as long as you believe in it." I tend to live by those words, quite simply because they're as true as what you've written here. I agree with TallPockets too...the most any human being can do is be humane. Too many people have lost sight of that and they allow weakness and greed to determine how they act and interact with others. We have people who SAY they believe one thing, but their actions prove otherwise...we have people who SAY they don't believe in anything, and they are, ironically, moral and loving people (in some cases at least) and it all just goes to show that nothing is as it seems, but it's all a lot simpler than we make it out to be. You've put your finger on that in the piece that you've written; it IS up to us to fill in the blanks and live the lives that are the most right for us. Some may disagree with that, but for those who disagree I always ask the one question that's impossible for them to answer: For whom are you living? If you can look at yourself in the mirror (as TallPockets puts it) and not flinch and look away, then you're doing pretty good. Thank you for posting this, it was a real pleasure to read.
