120114 sirens

—
a storm comes our way
our fear and hate drive it on
it answers our call

we cannot fight storms
winnowers of the world
many fall away

weakness comes from fear
the void lurks in the abyss
between life and death

recognize your fear
it lures us to the abyss
the void takes the weak

hear the sirens’ call
making zombies of us all
wasting life with fear

bring life back to earth
set roots deep in the soil
rooted life gives strength

live for honest death
protect love from the void
love may survive us
