Allies
Underneath
There is always a tender heart
A promise to fulfill
A sunrise for the faithful
A whisper for the waiting
Chaos for the insightful
Dissapointment for the clever
Wonder for the fearless
and soft-hearted
Protectors await
to melt arrogance and self-righteousness
How can we draw lines
When our allies are so close?
