Stand

-Stand-

Stand
Fall
Broken
All
Live
Then
Die
In between
Fight
Afterwards
Rest
Seek God
Find him
Reveal
Nothing
Leave
Only something
A piece of you
A copied copy
Your to be
Solemn legacy
Oh they will dream
And thus succeed
Ultimately
You won’t know
They’ll visit
Pay homage
In the ground
Upon the sea
Whispers
They’ll scream
You’ll hear them
But no reply
Will rewind
What is done
What remains
Is just the way it goes
Nothing said
Would make any sense
Upon the wind
Your words will flow
Upon no ears
Will they expose
What is to be next
Stand
Fall
Do it all
Live
Then die
Leave no time
To ever decide
Choose your God
The one inclined
Give him your heart
And dare not be surprised
When he decides to take it
Obfuscate the truth
Hide it well
For others to find
Make nothing easy
Why would you ever
Live between the dash
Let them mark your creation
And scar your resignation
Passersby’s will stare
They will mutter
This is all quite clear
As they move along
Stand
Fall
Fight every rule
And if need be
Murder all belief
Kill those who are
By choice unlike you
Your God of reason
Will protect you
He will
Without question
Stand by your side
Just as you
Have always stood
By his alone
Stand
Fall
Broken
All
Live
Then
Die
In between
Fight
Afterwards
Rest
Seek God
Find him
Reveal
Nothing
Leave
Only something
What
Is up to you
Make it count
Stand
Simple as that
There is
Of course
Nothing else
Nothing of importance
Or of significant abundance
Live between the dash
Let them mark your creation
And scar your resignation
Let those left behind know
They’ll understand…
