Nature Of Our Character

Nature Of Our Character

I cannot hear the laughter of the wind
though I clear the passages of my soul
to accelerate progress of our growth
becoming the great empire we fear most,
although I play chess with Death on the beach
while the Cherub hovers with wings of rain.

We know the arrogance of little kings
who strut around like giants of the Earth
whose rage far overshadows honest men
who build security with silent hands
yet we still gather in the ruined walls
of faith that crumbled centuries ago.

Some fear that principles we value most,
hard-working focus on justice for all
and equal opportunity for gain,
is threatened by men who refuse to play
by rules established by our founding fathers,
but honest men will always win the day.

Our memories define the world where we formed,
rendering effects from causes of our actions,
but how we choose to act from this day forth,
based on analysis of observations
concerning threats to our safety we face,
defines the nature of our character.
