Broken Arrow

It's the doers that will do something in this world

The past it haunts with a heavy presence those idle souls 
they sat back as the future of the next generation is stolen 
the calling card boils down to those that breathe fresh air 
remembering a quote which held me in thought
That peace was the enemy of memory 
the wicked stand confounded framed by deeds 
there is a spiritual war taking place backwards moving forward 
how far down the ladder do we go before stepping up 
hate devours love examining the truth if it were to turn face 
respect has lost all communication when fighting this beast 
unrepentant it suffers the agony throwing bitterness to the fowl 
when it crows it worms its way around sympathy 
wicked it claws for acceptance never seeing guilty as justice 
it hides with the sloth always seeking but never finding 
on the tombstone carved once bitten twice shy
here lies the remains of a broken child 
whom sold by actions a nation down the river
