Surrender
Every life is a puzzle, to be solved;
destined to come to conclusion;
conflicts, within; to become resolved;
love is the ultimate solution.
Love and hate; bring wars and peace;
defining the human condition;
in the essence of time; wars shall cease;
each life, makes its decision.
Pride is the general of every war;
victory; swallowed by defeat
few know what they’re fighting for;
wisdom takes a back seat;
Life becomes the mountain, we climb;
for victory; all of us thirst;
satisfying pride is victory, sublime;
each of us wants to be first.
Love is the prize; that all of us seek;
we want to receive it; not give;
strangely, victory belongs to the meek;
for, only they, know how to live.
Life is all about lifting up each other;
love becoming a sumptuous feast;
everyone else is your sister or brother;
love only survives with peace.
Those, seeking victory; will suffer defeat;
shallow victories; few remember;
love comes about, when two lovers meet;
peace comes from surrender.
