Poems
Apr 2011
the hard times are still to come
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 timesβ¦
they are nearly in
reach.
