Q. G. Pennyworth

Have you fed the people your country was forsaking?
Have you fought down the demons of your own making?
Have you felt the weight of the world in your hand?
Have you taken up arms in defense of your land?
Will the ones who come after us all understand?
Have you done it yet?

Have you spoken the truth though your voice was shaking?
Have you held your ground as your knees were quaking?
Have you felt the bite of the cold and the rain?
Have you held the line and screamed through the pain?
Will the ones who were there remember your name?
Have you done it yet?

Have you guarded the children the police were tazing?
Have you breathed the smoke as the streets were blazing?
Have you rescued a stranger from the wild fray?
Have you guarded the ones who knelt down to pray?
Will the video show you did not run away?
Have you done it yet?

Have you filmed the lives that the army was taking?
Have you fought the charges the state was inflating?
Have you tended the wounded and carried the lame?
Have you cried with the fallen and shouted their name?
Will the world that we know never be the same?
Have you done it yet?

Have you carried your load though your back was breaking?
Have you changed the course a country was taking?
Have you planted yourself at the river of truth?
Have you told the whole world "no, you move"?
Will history books and grandchildren approve?
Have you done it yet?

You can't get out backward.  You have to go forward to go back.. better press on! - Willie Wonka, PBUH

Life can be seen as a game with no reset button, no extra lives, and if the power goes out there is no restarting.  If that's all you see life as you are not long for this world, and never will get it.

"You program the controller to do the thing, only it doesn't do the thing.  It does something else entirely, or nothing at all.  It's like voting."

I like it!

I feel like there's more I could say but I don't know how to phrase it so i'll leave it at that.

I really like the direction your writing has been taking.

This one I completely forgot about for a couple months, just dug it up and did some tidying this morning.
