Passes Through Gain - Blitz ColabA Poem by Briana O'Connor50 line poem collaboration with Richard Allen Beevor, Momzilla, Pushkar Prabhat, Sindu, Realmwriter, Jordan, Music ManiacYesterday is gone Yesterday has passed Passed now unto Today Passed fast by… moved on On wings away on clouds ever out Out of time, out of mind; out of place, out of space space to live life space to hide and die Die a million times. Die infinitely more More pain to acquire More blood to be shed Shed in hate Shed for dogma Dogma true without question dogma no room for suggestion Suggestion: just follow Suggestion: stay hollow Hollow words, empty talk hollow halls none shall speak Speak to me not of hatred yesterday Speak to me of compassion today Today, the moon says goodbye Today, a new sun will rise Rise to the call of the hope Rise to the call and be transformed Transformed our hearts and minds Transformed all base desires Desires to persuade the will within Desires to conquer and prevail Prevail we must, step by step Prevail we will, this we pledge Pledge our arms to the cause Pledge to keep alive a flame Flame dancing in beautiful glory Flame rising hither and high High hopes in the patriot's heart High ideals written in blood Blood shed upon the fields Blood valiant and true
True to honor and to duty True to what we knew Knew of those times and the pain Knew of all to lose, to gain Gain! What gain? Gain an experience, sufficient! Sufficient Gain © 2015 Briana O'ConnorAuthor's Note
