Worth Fighting For
Too many tears have been shed.
Too many lives have been lost.
Fighting this endless bloody battle.
Our only hope, the promise of a new day.
The trumpets sing and the battle rages on.
Swords clash together as shields shatter.
Blood falls as rain to the ground.
Crimson puddles of hope and underlying despair.
Yet their eyes are filled with determination.
Wonder what gives them strength to keep fighting?
Faith that there is still some good left in this world.
And that it is still worth fighting for.
