Balance is in the scale of life,
We zone in on the things that mean nothing.
Locked in the flow of pointlessness,
Where honesty is forever lost in the past.

Eight seconds, that's all we give each other;
For in the busyness of life, no one else matters.
We steal from the poor, caring not of how they survive.
Hunger is for the weak, yet the strong die at their side.

Love was once an emotion freely given,
But now it is rotting in the dust of memory.
Anger is the fuel that drives us all on.
No one remembers, yet none can truly forget.

In the heat of every moment we come alive,
Like cooled embers rattled in the ashes.
They, this silent enemy, makes us burn.
Burn to the beginning of death, to the end of us.

Everyone, father, mother, brother, sister stand enraged.
Like puppets finally snipped of their strings of lies.
We no longer fear death, for it has stared us in the eyes.
With empty souls we charge courageously into battle.

Victory rises from these blackened ashes,
We've become vapors of hope stirred to life.
With the lies and hatred gone we can fully stand.
Stand as one body, one soul, one mind.
For with this kindred spirit we can survive.

Everything shines clearer in the light of day,
When darkness is gone from these new skies.
We can breath the oxygen of freedom.
Our arms linked in unity, no one can come against us.
Because after so long we have now finally began to-
    Believe.

Finally have gotten around to posting another piece in my Acrostic Values series.

I began writing this a few weeks back, as I was just clearing my desktop I noticed I never finished it. So I added the last two paragraphs just now so I can share it here. I actually really like it.

Feel free to give critique/comment/thoughts.


Other pieces in the series:
Purity
Compassion, Love, Courage.
Hope
Faith.
Baby's life
Self-Control.
