A dark poem about fighting back, but not in the way it might seem the poem indicates.

-Wake Up And Fight-
by
Keaton Foster

*Vignette5* *Vignette5* *Vignette5* *Vignette5* *Vignette5*


Wake up and fight
Arm yourself to the teeth
Make those against you
Pay in every way
Burn down their homes
Alleviate their souls
Force them to escape
Death is the only way
All that they have ever done
Is hate you in impossible ways
They deserve what’s coming to them
Vengeance is pale in comparison
Retribution is insignificant
Obliteration is more fitting
Wipe them from existence
Remove their stain from the world
Wake up and fight
Become a sinner
If even for only a limited time
Do what needs to be done
Have no regrets
Certainly God will judge you
But be assured he will judge them first
In your world, it’s become a killer or be killed
Your survival depends upon your actions
As well as your reactions
You were driven to such a place
Feel nothing with regard to fate
Don’t do what you must
Because of anger or because of rage
Do it because it is the closest thing to right
Wake up and fight
Lay everyone who has hurt you to waste
Destroy them all if that is what it takes
Forgiveness is for fools and heretics
You are righteous within your thinking
God himself believes in an eye for an eye
Your soul will pay for what you must do
But if you don’t act then your life
The one you have left to live
Will carry the heaviest of load
Wake up and fight
Do what you must
What you know you have to
Feel no sorrow for them
Because you and I both know
That they have none for you…
