letter to a friend #5

change happens whether you care or not
revolution happens if you believe 
or not; empires fall always as a rule 
things can get worse or better
if you prepare 

my dear sister; i know the world 
has untold weapons against us
my dear sister; i know the words
alone will not convince you 
my dear sister; i am imploring 
you to fight 

not for fighting sake 
but for the future
nihilists have been 
proven wrong time
after time 

like meteorologists
or politicians 
a lack of caring 
a pessimism 
is not security 
it is a paper
tiger 

i love you and
live for you
even as i 
know 

you are no
longer 
my friend
