Live your life like it won't last forever
This show is a limited run
Go, go, go like it's now or never
Seize your moment in the sun
A sacrifice was made
So you could fly and grow
Will you make the grade?
If you don't try you'll never know
Lux is sacrificed, time shortens
Chlorophyll fades
to expose Fall’s fiery bloom

in harsh realities.
Animal offerings,
doesn't absolve shortcomings.
Incoherent chanting,
is a cup of trembling.
A polluted #sacrifice,
wouldn't suffice.
Evil as upright,
rotting motives plight.
Image of a demon within.
Forever in sin.
#BornBattleReady
Glad you liked it.
on public whim's altar
the price of eggs
meant more than those
who ache and toil
searching for better life
we chose
CHOSE
history's dark shame
rounding them up
demonizing their dreams
taking away their kids
#BornBattleReady
the love we have for our children
an eternal sacrifice
we love them forever
no matter what

"And the many sacrifices you made to make all of this happen.
I'm not sure I was ever here,
But if I was,
I'm certain it was quite pleasant."

In solidarity stood
For greater good
Every breath weighed
Letting go bias
Offering hand
Voice raised in demand
Exposing false pious
Champions #sacrifice
Help unpaid
Advocating aid
Rallied sans vice
In name of rights
To benefit all faceless
Yielded for price.

Casualty of Ecstasy
Sacrifice I suppose
unseen by some
so often spoken of
in eulogy
or lament,
An altar trimmed with
red ribbons
of regret
or remorse,
The hearse and followers
fall in line, grim faced
guilt or
guile?
Life is hard to reconcile
the selfless in shadow
greed grows
in the light.
fall in line, grim faced
guilt or
guile?
Life is hard to reconcile"
A poignant truth we will all ultimately have to face 🫰🫰💛
I don't regret it.
Everything I gave,
I gave them sincerely from the heart
because I don't know otherwise.
I sacrificed my own life to save people who almost burned in the fire.
#Sacrifice is a sign of unconditional love
#BornBattleReady
we bring this life to a fruition
bountiful these chains of pains
which drag us into soft hells
teasing us with modern mania

Guarding sentinels
Guarded hearts
Pain and cautions crossing paths
Under the neon light
We yearn to reach out
Susurrus of silence
Caressing
Soft
Tumbled emotions
Stuttered words
Its #sacrifice
Like an unkindness of strangers
We simply fall a part
Not on this night
For even the mice
‘Twas one of peace
Not one bit of fright
Waiting for the feast
Celebration
Jubilation
For the little one born
Many years ago
Togetherness in awe
Just a shame
‘Twas forgotten
All the other days
#BornBattleReady
Every night
Looking down at you
I’d never let the Sun rise up
I’d cover the world in darkness
& the Sun would be a willing #sacrifice
The world kneeling at your beauty
And I would be your forever light
