Fight the good fight

Fight the good fight

A Poem by Gerry Legister
"

The great battle that all Christians relishes

"

The best way appears every day,
Pupils of this era overcoming fear,
In fashion and fury along the way,
Invisible we may appear.

To be at different stages in our lives,
Stirs the hopes we hold dear,
Parodied values elsewhere collapse,
Set in a modern world of social disorder.

I choose the best way nearer home,
The flaws that make me stand out,
In this town I am not alone,
In heaven I will be perfect.

Living in the pulse of denial,
Victims are too proud to beg,
The unusual way awaken becomes natural,
Crumbling economies are too lazy to dig.

Bereavement feels all that defines lost,
Defeat the spirit of lackluster,
You may win the fight and count the cost,
Struggle is part of the human nature.
