Unbreakable

New born infant what will you find

That is unbreakable in this first day.

And then through a lifetime of mainstay

Principles that will test your mind

And that of the mighty oak that holds your swing;

Or the woodland paths where spring

The worlds that are at best forgiving

And at worst, the way of forbidding

Truths and lies that may thus foment

Who and what you will believe.

Young man what have you found

That is unbreakable in this beginning

Year of your first and fruitful yearning

And are you certain that life will bound

Forth, full of strength and with a force

That will alter humanity’s course

Beyond its immediate destruction

And enraptured annihilation

Unabated by its quest for conquest

And of its unrelenting need for greed.

Fearsome man what have you done

That is unbreakable in this place

Where you live without grace

And without rhyme with one

Nor with anything that holds mirth;

As it has become about your worth

And less about those poor and meek

Who must seek shelter or a death in wreak

Amongst a cosmos that holds neither friend

Nor anyone - be they mighty or weak in the end.

Old man what have you lost;

What have you gained that is unbreakable

Besides your word of promise and name

And all disguised in a last testament of shame

Fastened together at all costs…

For the things you have built not to break

Are nothing more than your own mortar of make

Reasons and compromise that now hold no breath;

Soon to whither and waste upon your death.

And that will, in the end, prove that the only sake

That matters will stand, and whisper pray at your wake.
