Dark Forces

Dark Forces

are among us...

They speak,

and they beg

They want us

in their army.

The army

legendary, they say

The army

going to war.

 

Our destiny,

they say.

Our fate,

they coax.

Our duty,

they demand.

We succumb

to their insults.

We don't believe

we have a choice.

 

Light will always

go against dark.

Yet neither can exist

without the other.

Coexistence is not

the same as resisting,

though.

You need to realize

there's a choice.

There's always

an alternative.

 

You just have to find it.
