TRUTH FORGED ON BLOOD

I know I look weary
My eyes give me away
My body seems to fail
But I still stand tall
Through this fire fall
I still tread on
Streets filled with blood and bones
I still refuse to bow.
I choose to stand
Till my feet give way.

I know I look fatigued
My wrinkles must give me away
My body seems to waver
But I still hold on
Through he insults
I decide to ignore
I watch my family tremble
At what is to come
But I choose to stand
Till my feet give way
I know I seem beaten
My wounds must give me away
My body full on sores
But I still stand strong
Through the screams
I shut my ears
Tear images from my mind
My brothers lay lifeless
From more mysterious hits
But I choose to stand
Till my feet give way
I know I seem done
My shaky security must give me away
my government full of holes
But we still feign dumb
Through the blood and chaos
I blame the other side
My citizens lay in lifeless piles
As we play blame the cat
But I choose to lie
Till the lie becomes truth
