The Spirit of Truth

All around me
Their souls scream.
They scream to be heard
And they scream so that there may be silence.
Their message: There is more to this world than we perceive.

The world speaks in darkness
Telling tales of turmoil and sorrow.
There is pain and suffering
And mankind has slipped into desolation.
Greed and self-indulgence have overcome many
While greater men are left to suffer.
Villainous beings take the lives and freewill
Of those who still had hope.
The madness never stops
And brotherhood is but a memory.
The martyrs who came before--those who challenged the darkness--
Seem to be forgotten.
Have they all died for nothing?

All around me
Their souls scream.
They scream to be heard
And they scream so that there may finally be silence.
Their message: There is a light in the abyss.

Through the darkness, hope shines through.
There is still righteousness in this world
And the hopeful still exist.
The beauty of this world far outweighs
The deformed machinations of men
Who are blind to happiness and love.
These men will fall
For they do not know of true power
And their arrogance will betray them.
True power is not of the body
But of the mind.
It is for this reason that the martyrs have not died in vain.
They understood this principle
And have become eternal through their words.
Their messages bear more force than any man ever could.
A force that can change the world.
So have faith
This smog will clear
And the sun will shine brighter than ever.

All around me
Their souls scream
They scream to be heard
And they scream so that there may silence

As they surround me
I understand what they truly are.
These are the souls of the proud
The souls of the weak
And the souls of the strong.
They are the souls of the broken
The souls of the virtuous
And the souls of the honorable.
They are the souls of the courageous
The souls of the resilient and the enlightened.
They are the hope that drives us all forward--
A reminder that there is something left to fight for.

All around me
Their souls scream
They scream for the future
And scream for the past.
They say morals, virtues,
And purity will be restored
And the world will be as it once was.
These voices call out
And they have been heard.
