SHALL WE

Shall we follow

In the footsteps of our fathers

Down roads bearing

No sign of life



Shall we stand

With empty hearts

And clutching hands

As they disappear before us

Into darkness



Shall we gaze upon ourselves

And our surroundings

And shrink at the sight

Of what fills our eyes…

A world void of color



Shall we follow

Even as they have followed

With shoulders broad and head high

In the pride of tradition…

While our hearts sink low



Time grants us

Only momentary leave

To consider



Shall we follow

In the footsteps of our fathers

Or shall we in hope, finally move…

For change
