Yesterday a Year

Yesterday a Year   10/18/2013

Water is wine

And wine is blood

Sucked between my teeth

And burning in my heart.

Nothing is ever enough

To take away the past

But everything that is lost

Shall always come back again.

Fake rebels run in the streets

Paid to wreak havoc

All for a cause

They will never earn.

Yesterday I became older

But I am far from done

Because fools die by the dozen

Out of ignorance and calamity.

All of this

Is nothing at all

Because we were never abandoned

And never forgotten.

What are numbers?

And what are odds?

Compared to the truth

On our lips

And faith in our hearts. 

Easy things,

Are easily forgotten

But he who stands in the hurricane

Shall overcome the world

And live forever. 

Every day we are renewed

And every night we are cleansed

Washed white as snow

By the first blood

Given freely

For once and for all. 

The hardships are nothing

And all the setbacks a test

As we grow and learn

To crawl, walk, and run. 

Nothing is owed

And I shall not be ashamed

For God also knows

And never forgets. 

Grab hold of what will last

And let go of the rest

For he who hates shall lose

And he who loses shall win.
