The War Against Ourselves
Angels and Demons play a game of chess with our lives
Helping and Harming one another on their twisted board
Mothers and Fathers play a game of roulette with their children
Hurting and Healing them with every decision made
Mind and Body play a game of tug-a-war with their life
Killing and Reviving it with every thought, every breath
Men wave and Women smile every day
Yet
Flesh tears and Blood spills every night
Small talk and Big talk sound in sunlight
Still
Screams and Cries echo in moonlight
In the war against society, lives are rarely lost
But
In the war against ourselves, lives are rarely saved.
