Burdened By InnocenceA Poem by kbobWe guard those who can't guard themselves.We live on stolen faith. The faith of those who came before us The hearts of those who stand beside us We sap the love from their veins We guard the forgotten roads. The roads of cold reality Wet with the tears left uncried We walk these roads with solemn peace We are what you make us to be. We are the darkness that surrounds you We are the feeling that keeps you mortal We take this oath in silence We are not alone. We tread among broken hearts and broken bones We make our stand by the hopes and dreams of the innocent We are the ones who carry the world on our backs © 2008 kbobAuthor's Note
