War of the heart

There is a war of the heart
There is a war of the mind
Be ready my friends
The war is already here
You have to be strong
To make it in this world
We are constantly assaulted 
Bombarded by the war
That goes on day by day
We must shield our hearts
So that we can still love
We must shield our minds
So they don't get taken over
By negative thoughts
And negative deeds
Acting out hatred toward others
Falling into the rat race
Getting stuck in the grind
We must protect ourselves
At all cost
If we don't 
We will get lost 
Lost in a world
That teaches us we are separate
We are not whole
We have to play the game
To keep ourselves alive
That tells us we have
to give up ourselves
To ultimately win
