Humanity

Life's lessons so hard to learn but so valuable in understanding

The truth we have to bear

The strength to be so vulnerable, yet so strong in our cause.

The might to fight and not crumble at the hurdles, to tear down those walls

and break through the defenses with theories so worn.

The defenses we use are pathetic in it's path to be stronger of will

and not so led like sheep.

As we stand victorious on the mountain pass

We stumble on and not slide down.

We rise above it and fight humanity,

Sword for sword and punch for punch

We fight and shout 

Never to be heard.

But the influence we have is mightier than the blade

The words we speak cutting like knives.

The truth burning deep, branding us into being.

The will to succeed more powerful than mindless retorts.

Sharp words laced with hate

The power of humans.

So, tell me now, is it too late?

Have you been disgraced?

"The truth burning deep, branding us into being.' That is a great line!
Also" might to fight and not crumble at the hurdles" and "to be stronger of will
and not so led like sheep." and "the might to fight and not crumble at the hurdles"...
all good lines. I like this!
