What is life with danger all around us
And no chance at all of survival
What is friendship but a test of our resolve
to commitment
What is laughter but our reaction to
the absurdity of life
And where can we find purpose
In a world full of shame and neglect?
Followers ask....
We often work for others who do not care
Yet who take all of our gains for themselves
We sing the praises of honor
With arrows pointed straight at our backs
Wind rain and fire take our homes without mercy
Thieves work their will on us while we sleep
Still we procreate with nothing to show others
How to sort through the mess others have made.
Who fight without knowledge honor or cause
And take whatever they can.
Leaders know...
We sometimes dream the impossible dream
And we fight the endless line of unspeakable foes
Because somewhere in the midst of it all
We know there is more integrity in losing with honor
Than to die the thousand deaths of the coward
Who gives up on life without trying

I was thinking of many of your thoughts here when I wrote "The Heart-Room's Journey." As you have countless times shared with us, there are such possitive aspects to focus on in this battle for survival. Thanks, Ed, for posting this raw testimony.
