Justice At Cost

Justice At Cost

The frustrations of the righteous
Made worse by the sociopathic nature of the wicked
One's ability to care made into a weapon
That cuts deeper than any knife
Held in the madman's hands

Agents of entropy accelerated
Cannot lose
Not when their only purpose
Is to sow seeds of doubt

To the victor go the spoils
A rotted world
Wherein the innocent try to live
Among the ruins left in the wake
Of the never-ending battle

The heroes rise up and fight
For those that do not possess
The hope necessary to battle inevitability
There will always be a need for heroes

This need comes at a terrible cost
A bill to be paid by neither hero nor villain

A bill to be paid
In loss of self

Heroes are lifted up
Blocking from our eyes
The truth
We could be those heroes if we had the courage to hope
