I felt the love of the bay
until the wayward streets began to feel indifferently

The long arduous path of a fallen soul
resting, teasing the shackles of his heart
like fellow ancestors that fell to their blood stained knees in the heart of war

Those who virtue astray
find their hearts still missing as they grow older
as they grow weary of a missed pearl
that awakes the moon from the ominous night

Those long, cold winters
the heater broken, the furnace no longer burning
the ice, frigid with conviction,
holding the trees branches hostage for several more months
like the heavens slowly closing their gates for the winter reign

Our virtues are our legacies,
a long pause can turn into a life of malcontent
the hardened bags that sag so far beneath your eyes
your postman of the last 15 years can hardly recognize you, anymore

We fight for the right to be happy
to see our lives flourish amongst a field full of princes
for we are all living in the carnage of our despairs
and it is only fitting that we fight for the supremacy to be happy
no matter if it come at the greater cost of those around us.

Sad state of affairs when some has
"Misguided Virtues."

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself.
