Brothers In Arms (In A War)

So here we stand!
Brothers in arms,
in a war.
Sought after thoughts-
Simplistic ideas of happiness,
seasons & sessions of
growth & warmth
linger for a moment,
on a knifes edge.
Only to descend away
like ash in the wind.
Body & mind
trudging through
Kubrick mud fields.
Brothers together,
variety of fears.
Flowing, abundant,
take your pick!
Nevertheless,...vigorous spirits,
reborn like the morning dawn.
Each day brings
land mines of optimism,
individual struggles,
tip-toeing over the brim.
Brothers exchanging math,
ways to relate a days wage.
Dreams being filed away
like index cards,
ways to pass the time.
Brothers in arms,
migrating brave mountain passes,
peaks & valleys of emotion
swatted away like minute gnats.
Brothers!
Standing like a monument,
unmovable in the
face of our oppressor.
In victory,
we'll share triumphant stories.
In defeat,
we'll see not another morning.
Unspecified we'll overcome!
With our square jaws
lifted to the heavens,
We will triumph!
