    The Rise

    Cast upon me your heart’s fill
    As many of those sly, questioning glances
    Delight if you please at my tumble and fall
    Engineer more such circumstances

    Go ahead! Throw at me all you will
    Vent that angst, do me wrong
    I will turn up for every fight you call
    Each punch you throw only makes me strong

    I shall find strength in the venom you spew
    For every devious plan that you devise
    It’ll only reaffirm and renew my resolve
    I will get up, I will come back, I shall rise

    My belief in my values shall always hold true
    With conviction I will continue to brave every adverse tide
    Each challenge shall build a better me, I shall evolve
    Shaping my future, the past and present in my stride

    Armageddon

    Things aren’t always
    As they seem the wise say
    Life is after all, about the greys
    And the games people play

    Be wary of the silences
    For in them lie the seeds
    Of perceptions and pretences
    Scheming and devious deeds

    Minds with power to spread fear
    No sweat broken when a lie is told
    Bereft of emotion, never ever a tear
    Ethics pawned and conscience sold

    Gather ye the guardians of good
    For the hour of reckoning has come
    Stand for what’s right as you should
    Fight for all and not just for some

    The brave must protect and fight
    For the meek to inherit the earth
    Light torches, shine the path bright
    Time to show what truth is worth

    Blow hard, blow high, blow strong
    Drive those storm clouds far away
    For good takes time to come along
    When it does, hold on, make it stay
