for the smart,
you will persecuted

for the strong,
you will be put
to the test

for the passionate,
your commitment
will be tried

for the lucky,
you will have to
do without

for the hard times
are still to come

the past,
as gloomy as it
may seem,
does not compare
to the future

there will be times,
when being a loser
only means death

there will be times too,
when your children
are more of a parasite
and less of a human
being

and also there will be times,
when time is the only thing
we have left

for us,
the hardest trials
have yet to begin

the most difficult problems
have yet to arrive

the worst situations
have yet to pass

it will be thunderstorms,
and plagues, and theft,
and anarchy

the world will only know
******
and the execution
of it

and these times are still to come

the past has not
prepared us
for the future

the future where we will
fight when there is nothing
left to fight for

the future where we rise
from the ashes of war and
defeat and hatred

the future where we can
once again be human with
out being judged

the hardest times,
are still to come.

but the best times…

they are nearly in
reach.
