WHAT IT IS
What is the cost but
a sacrifice
a life that has but
started to flower.
What is the pain but
the needle in the nail
a weakness of the flesh but
a statement of defeat.
What is their strength but
the borrowed gun
the loss of their humanity but
their bestiality.
What is their wisdom but
lies
delusions and confusions but
covered up as facts..
What is their life but
slime and trash
a semblance of worth but
a load of waste.
What is life but
a struggle
an endless war
for self respect.
