Walking The Line...

Walking The Line

I am the last of the true believers,
But I know there are no longer leaders,
True men created from the hearts of men,
That have gone through hell and back again.

I am not the only sole survivor,
Who understands what it is we died for,
And it isn't money, fame, or power,
That compels me to stand strong this hour.

I'm one of many, who hold memories,
Of starving children and families,
That couldn't afford a loaf of bread,
The forgotten faces of times long dead.

And as we gather on these filthy shores,
Governed by, the self proclaimed whores,
Who sell this world to the highest bidder,
While they watch our countries decay and wither,

I realize that I'm not the only one,
Who's ashamed of what this world's become,
But I'm proud to walk the line again,
With my brothers and my countrymen.

Thanks,

Love this!

Gave you a plus 1. You into any kind of survivalism? The last paragraph reminded me of that..

And there's been a lot of talk about things like explosions going on in certain places. I look at it all with a grain of salt but I don't think that it hurts to be familiar with the basic first aid and so on in case something went up. Some of those instructions people used to give around the campsites in the 20s before everything went cuckoo aren't really all that bad or worth abandoning just because everyone has a headset and a playstation. Anyways, like the imagery painted here within your text.

Brilliant, Blend! You went the extra mile with this one. I feel you hit the extreme notes of the best and worst of mankind..., but good always prevails.
