A New Day

Walking into the city, a light burns in the distance. The dread of loneliness is not to be ignored; the presence of death is real. There are hundreds of people walking in their own way. Hundreds of people, yet none have a purpose. All have a story. Listen. Do you hear them? They are crying out to you from the depths of their sadness; none is safe here. The day is breaking, but the clouds cover the earth.

Some cry Protection! Others say there is no good thing in such bleak cover.

Where have we gone? All the good in the world is slowly becoming small enough to fit inside a page, while the Evil decides to take up residence in the souls of men. How numerous are the evil things! How weak in number are the ones who stand for righteousness! How infinitely sad that such a day should ever be seen upon the earth…

No one should live in such uncertainty. We all have a purpose, but very few can realize what that purpose. Some think they have found the answers, but all they have is a fistful of empty dreams. The Truth lies vulnerable in the open air, silently deflecting the torturous blows. There are few who recognize the shine beneath all of the mud that has been caked upon it through centuries of falsehood and Lies. Truth stands on its own two feet, but not without some difficulty. There are too many aggressors in the world today. Too many who would fight on the side of a lie that will only turn on them when the moment is right.

Despite the stench that fills the air, a new day is dawning.

Walking through the city, a steady stream of youth are lifting their eyes from the sidewalks and looking past themselves to something called the Greater Good. The light that burned so far away now seems to be much closer; no longer shall the living be haunted by the dead. Yes, their cries for justice and mercy will continue to resound, but the sound will take on a less melancholy tune. Finally, the stories of the Ones Who Lived will be heard by the Ones Still Living.

“The Truth shall set you free,” they say.

And slowly, slowly, young eyes begin to seek and find. The shining Truth is unveiled, reflected in the hearts of many until its brightness blinds those who would come in the name of Death and Destruction. The goal of these few is to overcome the many by the power of the Truth they now embody.

It has happened before.

It can happen again.
