It's A Battle of Hope!

Considering the downward slope our society is taking,
The economic recession the world is plagued with,
The ravages of war, and the resulting jeopardy in which international relations have gotten,
And the need for peace and stability,
We can hear the war drums thundering!
It's a call to battle, and we are the soldiers!
In the midst of this catastrophe,
From deep within comes a message of hope,
Heralded by our instincts,
Sounding loud and clear to the outside world,
Announcing; It's a Battle of Hope!

As we witness a global metamorphosis, born out of the natural tendencies of man,
Nurtured by parental and societal negligence,
And complacency about high standards,
We observe the inimical effects of youthful exuberance on our children,
As spelt out in drug addiction, rape, sex, pornography, violence and crime,
And as we live with the reality of our teenage daughters becoming mothers before they turn fifteen,
Or our little girls being deflowered shortly after their twelfth birthday,
Even without our knowledge or premonition,
Following an increase in contraceptives, offered by a somewhat negatively advancing science and technology,
We are assured of an increase in abortion, infant abandonment, teenage-pregnancy, and abortion-caused deaths,
For this reason, we could hear the war trumpets sound,
It's a battle alert,
And we are the contenders,
In the midst of this disaster,
From far within the soul,
Is a sermon of a brighter, happier, safer and healthier future,
Resounded by our hearts,
Ringing resoundingly across the continents,
Yelling; It's a Battle of Hope!

As our universe becomes stricken with poverty, famine, the pandemic of AIDS, malaria, and global warming,
We could feel the pangs of pain around our necks,
And as we hear the continuous tales of nuclear creations and explosions, and terrorist attacks saturating the media, we are turned fear-stricken,
And we realize that our world is on the edge of a precipice, even as we witness its pillars crumbling,
We could still hear the thunderous marching of the veterans,
It's an invitation to war, and we are the combatants,
Even at the forefront of this global unrest,
From the roots of our spirit,
Comes a promulgation of victory,
Unveiled by our tongues,
And reaching far to the utmost part of the earth,
Shouting; It's a Battle of Hope!
