Pledge

How can I be afraid
When those who in fear dwell- thrive?
How can I be afraid
When those who cannot run stay,
yet - 

Do not cry nor whimper
for fear
Of death of heart claiming their soul!
A soul scorched ablaze by coals of hate and fate,
Ashes burned of once promise and hope...

Yet they rise time and time again
For their choices destroyed, they ascend to heavens,
liberated by the lack of reason or path
That in abundance - shackled their neighbors.
 

I see a great hope for mankind
For they are brutal in their revenge
Against the Devils attempt to divide!
 

I see a great hope for my kind
For they have love burning stronger than Hell
And it flows in oceans against the tide of rising wars and grief and poverty and hate!
 

I have hope for my species
For they are pure when stripped away
From the metal and silicon and plastic they have chained around themselves;
Letting go of that clinging of nothing.
 

I have love for you
My friend, my mother, my child
For you have helped me break free and run -
Through fields that the Old Gods dance in...
My Hands -
caressing their Divine spirit
Meeting their heavenly fingers...
 

In your help I help you help me ...
 

I hope and I hope and I hope once again
That you search yonder into the faraway fields of flight
And come dance and sing with me in my Almighty Universe, my peace ...
my fight.
