Swimming against the current of life Is never easy And unlike salmon We don't get to enjoy ourselves When we get where we're trying to go Most of us just get bitter Bitter because of the wars we've had to wage Just to live in peace Bitter because those that come after us Don't have to fight nearly as hard Or so we imagine What we keep forgetting Is that none of us And I mean NONE Were the very first There have been millions Who fought the powers that be To make our going a little easier And some of them Didn't exist long enough To look back with An old soldier's mind Or look forward To those that came after With jade jealousy covering thier eyes And here's a little secret for you We won't be the last to fight And whether or not The young have to fight as fiercly Isn't even an issue After all, Everyone's struggles seem greater To themselves alone So now that you've made it this far Sit back and enjoy the peace you've clawed out for yourself While giving the best advice you can To the next soldiers in the ranks ~Matt Magus P.S. Second poem tonight, go back and read the first...
