Without suffering
Without sacrifice
Without dedication
Without persistence
There will be no
Community
There will be no
Continuation
There will be no
Future
Those who have
Suffered
Sacrificed
Persisted
Have paved the way
For new tomorrows
Have made available
New opportunities
Have given us
All
Another chance
To redeem ourselves
To restore ourselves
To rekindle
The flame of freedom
To survive the onslaughts
The insults
The lies
Of those of dark determination
Who now control
Our Nations
Our Communities
Our Associations
Now
Our time has come
As their time is over
Mankind awakens from it’s slumber
It’s death match is over
Now
Free again
Free to say
We are Man
Under the rule of Self
Self
Which is under the rule of God
Free of all isms
Walking together
Working together
Working together
For the betterment of all
For the continuation
Of human community
It was through sacrifice
It was through suffering
It was through persistence
And
Dedication
That we have advanced as a species
And
Now advance
And
Will advance
And
Prosper and Thrive
Together

Note: I started this poem a week ago during a moment of inspiration. I have revised it a few times and finished it today on Good Friday, 2017. I thought it a very appropriate time to publish it on this symbolic day of sacrifice and suffering.

Thanks for sharing.
Good words, but I would say that it is indeed hard in this world, when whatever public institutions or media one turns his eyes towards, are supporting the current hidden agenda. I hope there is a divine plan of intervention because I think one doesnt have to go closer than to one's neighbour, college or person next door and they all belive "everything is fine, world is doing great, politicians will solve all problems and everything else is just crazy conspiracy-people trying to scare people".... so to find a solution from within this society - I would hope so but just cant see it happen. Even id a lot of wonderful cresture are born everyday to this world they are fastly destroyed...
But I dont doubt earth will be a good place someday - the way to get there might just be a little more rough and complicated seen through human perspective ;)
Couragoues and brave feeling about the poem though - thnaks!
P.S Havent heard much of the swedish terror attack in awhile. Remarkably how it accordingly will take "one year and hundreds of detectives" to investigate this crime when the suspected admitted already the same night. But maybe they will solve the swedish prime minister meanwhile... ;)
But thanks and I like the courageousness in the poem!
Kindest regards
Magnus
