The Sacrifice



This poem is from a short story I wrote entitled Capetown. I hope you like it and it makes you understand where our hearts and minds should be through the dark days ahead.



capetown


What price for freedom, I ask of you?
What would you forfeit or chose to do?
Would you give your life dear friend?
Would you fight until the bitter end?

Thrust your hand into death's fire.
Do you have all which you desire?
All things worthwhile have a cost.
Are you saved or hopelessly lost?

What is our life compared to others needs?
What is a heart if it acknowledges and concedes?
What better fate than to give and not to receive?
What more does any soul have but to believe?

Into death's dark tunnel I shall go
where it might lead me I do not know.
Though difficult I will make this sacrifice
perhaps it is enough and might just suffice.

Love one another...The Lord God Jehovah commands us to.
