Those Who Willingly Opened Hell’s Gates

Look at the fear that you hold inside.
It consumes your heart as it tries to hide.

Your heart knows the path that is true and holds grace.
To face your fear, you will have to stand against those who want to erase.

If you let them … they will erase the beauty and light.
They will erase all that matters if you are unwilling to fight.

I would rather die than let terror win.
I would rather die than take on the karma of their sins.

Within me the warrior has seen worse than this petulant bureaucracy.
I know their weaknesses and will not condone their hypocrisy.

Those of you … and you know who you are.
That hide in fear and let others dim your star.

Are going to carry a guilt … heavier than stone.
Until you face your fear and grow a backbone.

Life is a test to see if you will follow the path of good.
Life is not about doing the bidding of others because you think you should.

When you live in fear and refuse when love called.
You become a tool of the hate that has you enthralled.

We are at a point where you do not listen to that graceful whisper inside.
And instead defend those who use their power and have endlessly lied.

Then you are not in your center and become a victim of the fates.
Because you are the one who willingly opened Hell’s gates.
