This poem was actually a school assignment from when I was in grade 10 (so a few years ago now). It was the first poem (and last to date) that I had written that had a structured rhyming scheme. Coming from someone who doesn't usually write this style I am really pleased at how it came out and at the risk of sounding like a parent choosing their favourite child, this is one of my tope favourite poems I've written.
Quick side note: This is in no way a religious poem! I am not religious and especially was not when this poem was written
In time of great strife,
We find ourselves in the need of eternal light.
Until we are done with this life,
We must use all we can to fight.
And if we must use the knife,
Then a new world will be ourrs for the night.
But when the faith of all will fail for all that is right,
A new one will arise and return you to your life.
By their choice alone our future lays,
In their mind the path is set.
All we must do is choose how to spend our days,
Until the day we settle the debt.
Our time is coming, our time is near,
We must not live within our own fears.
