Commitment: Past, Present, Future

[xanimeotakux]

Commitment, an idea, a noun.
To pledge to something or someone.
What has this idea become?

Those days of selflessness
Souls being repaired
Hearts being mended?

The times of wholeheartedness
Truth passing through ev'ry pair of lips
Praising rather than critiquing?

Could the ages have really taken
All the conviction from our voices
The certainty off our minds?

Have the eternities of protest
Engaged us in a full on War of wit
Battling against kindred?

How do we fight against a force
Essentially brutal in its bluntness
Whilst constant feud reigns?

Will the trustworthy, the courageous
Stay upon one common goal
What is it worth?

Shall all who have been committed
Fall into despair as if weak;
Weak from fighting a pointless battle?

Band together, I say, not necessarily
With those of your kin, but with your thoughts
The morals residing deep within.

Fight against the noncommittal
Challenge the path youth are taking
Bring back the glory years.
