DEATH is.... br br * to some a torment, spent in hells eternal night br to some a relief, the weary soul taking flight br to some a reward, promising heavens shining light br to some a nothingness, the simple ending of sight br but to all it's a promise, humanities birthright. br br * a closing of the eyes so that there may be an opening of the mind br br br SIN is.... br br * an idea that can bind you faster than the strongest chain br br * a parent threatens the wilful child with the 'boogeyman' society threatens the wilful soul with 'sin' br br br REVENGE is.... br br * a crime when committed by man, justice when committed by society br br * when an obsession with anothers aggression leads to the possession of our own transgression br br br PEACE is..... br br * the prize of war, only won with an ocean of fathomless tears for the uncounted dead br br * the dream of many ransomed by the will of a few br br * the antithesis of want, the two can never exist side by side only when there is none found wanting, can peace be found br br br HOPE is..... br br * a solitary spark in the darkness that, when ignited, sends the shadows fleeing and illuminates the entire world br br * a rare and precious gift.
