Blood Is Our Purpose

By Lady Thaness

People don’t understand the reality of the world
because they don’t want to. Ignorance is everywhere.
While civilization rots and society as we know it 
begins to crumble before our eyes. 
Somewhere in the cracks and in the destined
hearts and souls, lies hope.
 
War and violence is a part of this reality. It is
conscious and utterly inevitable. Nature makes 
it that way. Because honor and sacrifice brings 
light and prosperity to the future. Our blood
spills to replenish the Earth as rain does. Like a
woman’s menses and blood of birth, 
men fall to nature’s cycle as well.
 
So tell me now, why do you turn the other way
and cower in fear when the universe is asking
you to fight? Do you have too much to live for?
Too much to lose? You are already losing and
your legacy is already dying. Stop living on the
surface like you are nothing.
 
Wake up!
 
You have everything to die for.
Everything is at stake.
You must.
You must rage against the dying of the light.
Stand up and fight for your future!
Your children’s future!
Your people’s future!
 
Come back to the land. Feel the blood bubble beneath
you like a river.
That blood belongs to your ancestors.
They fought for your future.
What will you do for them?
