Underneath the façade of vile courage,
Lies a lurking human fear.
Underneath the sanguineous carnage,
Blooms concern and love so dear.
Underneath the threat of death
Is born, the hope and light of life.
Underneath the lullaby of every breath,
Lurks a life, hoping to survive.
Underneath the clamorous violence
Sighs a hapless, vanquished peace.
Underneath the deathly, eerie silence
Flourishes a faint prayer with ease.
Underneath the shroud of pretence,
Smirks an austere reality.
Underneath the excuse of coincidence
Gloats our insurmountable destiny.
Underneath the shadow of every man,
Underneath his very countenance,
Rises boldly an embedded conscience, wan
Holding within it God and His very essence.
Love this one :)
