Struggle

Date Unknown

I know by the look in your eyes

That you do not care

That the chaos that surrounds us

Is meaningless to you

While others struggle

You remain huddled in your privilege

Unable to see the power you possess

But perhaps, instead, you are merely unwilling

Veiled in a soldiers guise

Which I believe has fooled even you

You think a hero means

Brawn over brains

Action over intellect

And thus that is why

I am sure you do not see it

There are wars being waged

On more than just a physical front

It takes a real warrior

To fight something they cannot see

Even more so when they fail

To recognize the threat at all

But fear not

For I will cure you of your ignorance

And together we will wash away

The blood of the oppressed

You may have never noticed

Perhaps you never tried

But I will be your teacher

I will show you

How to truly be strong
