Times Have Changed



Love is not understood in the world today,
This culture of confusion teaches us no other way.
Still the light from a heartbeat of the purest soul,
Uplifts those left broken hoping somehow to extol.
Daily it’s a battle in a never ending war,
A struggle to survive and know what the fight was for.
In the end there is left only a field of desolation,
Overcoming each day to find a new abomination.
Who is the person that you have become inside,
Until the fight begins you never know where you’re allied.
There are those who fight the battles and several that protect,
Some are good at causing conflict while others just object.
We will become the role to which we are forever bound,
Every choice we make molds us which helps us stand our ground.
If you have lost who you are somewhere along the way,
I hope a friend will guide you through to see another day.
Then when you understand exactly who you really are,
Grab your truth and follow for it’s your moral guiding star.
