See the Truth

the truth of life
beneath the surface of all things
is my conviction
it has led me high in the mountains
to escape this being human
 
from this
in the confines of time
shall i know retribution
i am a warrior
i was born this way
and though there is a choice
we lead the lives we lead
and are confined by the things
set before us
 
i have found peace
only in a moment
meditating on a peak
in this flight upon the mountains
and
what passes before me is this:
the struggles of my people
are not simply just our own struggles
but the reflection of a war within us all
there is no peace underserving
as is the ideal thought
the tidal wave that fights to shore
 
within the void
chaos persists like a lone wolf 
trailing alongside
as you magnify your relevance
through space
 
just as the moment preceding 
or ensuing
the alligator listens below
as the frog jumps pads
waiting
just waiting…
what we know as chaos
is nothing more than cannibalism
nature’s mechanism to enchant
belief
 
as peace from war
we shall know neither hand-in-hand
though we shall fight
for what reason i forget
but we shall
and as i experience peace
upon this knuckle of god
it will soon be forgotten
yet
i will continue to lead these guardians 
to and from the realms of these otherworlds
where they will be confronted 
by not only their opposition but
the enemy from where they
lie dormant
