Frosty

Frosty                                       3/22/2016

The bear awakes from sleep

Shrugging off centuries of slumber

Rubbing his eyes

And shaking off the dust. 

It has been a long winter

And it has been a long sleep

But outside the landscape has changed

The snow melted

And coursing down the stream.

What was peaceful

Is now full of fear

Infiltrated, corrupted

Rotted, and soft.

Blown apart

The pieces ooze

Nothing but corpses

Silent and slaughtered.

Undefended and unprotected

The guinea pigs of suicide

As the greatest legacy of man

Is doomed by the foolish

And forgetful. 

A thousand years or more

We have forgotten the truth

About how hard it was

To defend and preserve.

Inch by inch

It was fought

The light was preserved

And darkness defeated.

But the battlefield of the mind

Is another thing all together

As we double think ourselves

Into false guilt

And doubt.

Evil burrows in

And twists our perception

Exploiting every good intention

In every way he can. 

But now we know

And now the truth is evident

Strewn all over the street

All we loved

And cherished.

Woe to him

Who lies about it now

Lulling many to sleep

With the same old song.

Let the bear loose

And let him charge

Unstoppable

And unshakable. 

A long time coming

The awakened giant

Still bleeding

And barely breathing. 

Rouse yourself

And do what you can

Frosty as ice

For those

Who cannot speak. 

Claws and teeth

Fangs and strength

For God created some

To give it their all. 

Storming out

Of every last bastion

The fierce truth

Indomitable

And immortal.
