Many are those...
who are for us, in us ...of us
who have fallen ...like leaves, all in due season
like rain, as if there were no other reason...
as it was time... to bridge the gap
between life and death... armies of those
until taken till the end... that last breath
would still, fight the war
of worlds within ...more,
than kin ...for the
NATION
deeper than just...
the color of a skin
 
there are those of us
who find it necessary ...to remain behind,
though, stuck deaf, dumb and blind
to care for and protect
...our children, from this demon
and the next, to come after him...
to tap the resources, necessary for us ...to continue
on this journey, paying a price
which no one, can undeliver...
a timely, passage of
a treasury ...of spirituality, by whose infusion
we are blessed...
this is the test ...of time,
due season during unrest... to find, another
willing to deliver, themselves
to sacrifice a pursuit of pleasure
to a life... where service makes
...no pretense even when the trials at hand,
demand our ALL
even to the point of a noble death
...in the mountains, deserts, oceans, fields and steams
long before us... keepers of the dream
who will speak of their sheer will,
of their defiance... against impossible odds...
amidst the unfathomable violence
when the last heartbeat
gave way to silence
of the many times/places...
where there were no survivors
who should we applaud...
of those, who'd gave their all,
never received accolades, who shall remain
...forever nameless
those whose divinely inspired guidance,
...found its course our way
despite the best attempts to block them
...by the shameless
even if/until only ion trails remain
of those of us chosen to rise up to the challenge,
rise and fall ...in the
nether dust
