We in the World

Illustration by David S.

We in the world

Mixed with darkness and beauty

Find no balance

But a fight.

We wage

An unusual war,

Not a cage match,

Brawl to submission.

Rather, we submit.

Victory, not to the strong

Nor the swift

But to the lovers and losers

To the invisible

To those who have given

Everything.

To those able to offer

Nothing.

Not by might,

By mites,

Crumbs,

Mustard seeds,

Children.

Small things

With great love.

We look through the dark glass

And see the outcome

After those who gave all and

Received the reward the world

Bestows those who love fiercely and boldly:

Untimely death.

A dark world stood,

And still stands
