Poetry or Nowhere LandWe Are Not Afraid
Walking on the edge of the world
where the dragons live and breathe,
where everything is full of frightening intent
and death is but a second away,
the children of the universe hide their fear behind masks,
masks of everything's all right.
And as we walk the valleys of the night,
fighting monsters to change the world's wrongs, to rights,
we know that even should we lose the battle,
we will win the war;
For even though we are lost,
though we fight and fall to those unnamed creatures of night
that haunt the nether regions of this living hell,
we are not afraid,
for the powers of light shall always win,
for even in the absence of earth--
the universe lives on.
