The Never-ending March

Summary: Hear, hear! The unwilling proceed their march!


Hear, hear!
	Cries of tired eyes
	Shouts from strained voices
	Stomps of limping feet
The unwilling proceed their march!

Through storms and drought—
	Floodwaters reaching past our necks
	Painful, fatal heat wringing us dry 
—On we carry! 

Through gritted teeth and bitten tongues—
	The near-unbearable pain choked down
	Our heavy words swallowed 
—On we carry! 

There is no relief for the weak! 
	Drowned and guided by the currents 
	Dragged and thrown by the hands of time 
	Towards the far light, with no choice 
There is no rest for the weary!

Through blood and bruises— 
	Pouring out of cut veins 
	Blooming on battered skin 
—On we carry! 

Through thick and thin—
	Suffocation leaving tears thick
	Starvation stretching us thin
—On we carry! 

Hear, hear!
	An inability to end
	A desperation to stop
	Born to die, yet forced to live
The unwilling proceed their march!
