Ode to the broken

Ode to the Broken


To all the hurting, broken souls out there,
To all the men and women fair,
And all the children who are drowning in despair,
I want you to know that you're not alone.
We hear you moan,
And when you groan,
Cry and scream,
And know how fitfully you dream.

We're here for you,
To see you through,
From dark to light,
We stand and fight,
By your side,
Until the battle's tide,
Has turned for the best.
So, till then, we shall not rest.

Your pain so real,
So sharp, we feel,
Like a blade to the back,
To us, it's a personal attack.
It cuts us to the core,
And drives us to fight the injustice forever more.

We are men, and boys,
Girls with poise,
Women with strength,
And all who go to such great length,
To know you're safe,  happy, and well.

Your names, we know not,
But with our souls, we have bought,
The chance to bring you home again,
So that then,
You may tell the tale,
From here to Yale,
That hope is not yet lost,
That even freedom has it's cost!

The price was paid in blood, word and deed,
By men, women, and children who heed,
The meaning of an old Code,
Whose great mystery sowed
In their head and in their heart,
The seeds of a brand new start.

Chivalry is not dead!
It lives here, and there, and in your head!
As long as we remember, live, and breathe,
There still exists the chance to believe,
In good things, people, and fate;
In light against darkness and destructive hate.

So when you look for that deadly pill,
The razor that sits on the sill,
And when your eyes fill with tears, sadness, and grief,
May this poem and ode, fill you with belief,
That somewhere,
Out there,
People. Still. Care.

So don't you dare,
Give up just yet.
Don't be so upset.
Things can change,
And when they do,
You'll be glad that you're the one who,
Is still alive to see the dawn of that new day,
And are still able to say,
Life's not so bad,
But you've got to understand that Life's a mix of things, both happy and sad.

We're here for you.

Look for us.

We're Knights of the heart and mind.

We live to serve the people of the world.

To speak true words.

To protect the weak from those who'd abuse them.

To give to those who have less than we, even if all we have is our smile to offer them.

We are not so lost from time as books may suggest.

We are the ones who hold the door,
And give to the poor.

We speak out against the tyranny of the world.

We chose to live with nothing more than the belief that doing good for its own sake is reward enough for us.

To respect men and women, as partners, as equally capable members of society.

To reach out to any and all who lose hope, who need to smile, who are hungry, abused, and used.

We are here for you.

All you need to do is believe.

And if you ever need a little help...

Look for us. We're here to help you.
