A Plea Against Serenity

Serenity is only for

Those who don’t have a care in the world.

She is welcome by

Those that see no wrong to letting

Life go on as it does now—

Flawed and cruel.

You may envy Serenity’s children

And their naïve ignorance,

But I do not.

I say let them have their peace…

Just as long as they keep it to themselves.

I’ve no use for it.

Serenity is not for me.

I, who prefer

to stand tall with all

my worries. Because they

are what have kept me

going ,going, going, going

-surviving-

all this time.

  

If peace of mind means

I must forget

All the starving children living in the bloody streets,

All the broken hearted souls left behind in a dark corner,

All the wrongs that stain this world…

Then, instead,

Give me War!

A chance to fight back against the status quo.

Give me Revolution!

A chance to bring change to this rotting society.

Give me Vengeance!

A chance to amend the errors of humanity.

Serenity.

I will vanquish you, and cast you out from these lands.

Not because I despise you, but because

 I dream of you.

Serenity,

I will vanquish you.

So that later you may return

To a world that has truly earned you.

But until that time comes,

I will never end my crusade against you.

I will never succumb to you,

Beautiful Serenity.
