Sky Above - Earth Below - Fire Within

Someone once told me
That it is best to be unadorned
But how could they possibly know
Have they ever supported the weight of the world?
My shoulders, pillars of steel
My mind, a computational anomaly
My heart, an instrument of the truest love
The things I have carried, incomprehensible to most
I will not be governed by hate or fear
Nor will I tally my wins and losses
Calloused hands, obscured scars, passionate memories
And a five o’clock shadow that puts George Clooney to shame
Will silently spill my soul
Into the infinite continuum of the collective knowledge of the universe
No longer shall we opt to lose battles to win the war
When all mankind understands
That our own ego is the only real enemy
Find your truth and speak it
Seek peace and pursue it
May your glass always be half-full
May the ends of the tunnels you travel always yield light

My legacy will be the unmatched brightness
Of a thousand shining suns.
