Eyes weary
Cuts running rampant
Muscles weak
Feet so sore
Gun nearly empty
A future bleak
Humanity has long since lost
Lies and half-truths barely tugging us along
What happens after us we won't know
All we ask
Is that in the end
They look back and have to show
That we gave them a run
That we wouldn't stand idly by
THAT WE WOULDN'T TAKE IT
And if we can win at least that much
Then this war will have been worth it
That humanity isn't weak, and can stand up and take the hit
A story they will have to tell to children long to come
To those unborn and strangers a new
That humanity put up the fight and stood their ground
Hopefully we can accomplish this
With what meager men we have left
But I fear that in the end, the past is our resting ground
That none to come or none to go will know who we were or what we did
That we aren't even a memory, that we are NOTHING
But we won't let that happen
Our story will be told
And that story will be that we were EVERYTHING
WE WERE HUMAN
