vision, mission, passion

Do you know how it is to lose everything?
Do you know the feeling of a free fall – 10 stories high?
Do you how it is to be betrayed by the people you trust?
Do you know the feeling of shame? 
The humiliation that comes with defeat?
Do you know how it is to fight even when the tides of fate is
against you and still - you fight on? With my unconquerable soul…
Do you know how it is to put aside your dreams
and wear a practical hat for you to live by the day?
Do you know the feeling of being alone in a hostile territory with
    only your faith to accompany you in the coldness of the night?
How do you fight on when your armors are shuttered, 
     your shield is down and your arms are
 stiff and weary from striking?
How do you keep you pride when you are captured?
And all things and people dear to you are lost?
How does it feel to be vanquished? My head is bloody but unbowed…
What will keep you going when everything around you is lost?
How will you keep your chin up when the tides of opinion have  
    turned against you?
How do you weather the coldness of the night when your homes 
    have been taken as trophies?
How do you confront a force beyond your comprehension? 
A hundred times your size?
When suddenly darkness over runs your sunlight? I am unafraid…
What meaning is there to carry on a hopeless fight?
Will you give in to the schemes of tricks and conspiracy?
Will you sell your honor for a sack of gold?
Will you give in your convictions and aspirations 
    for a night of temporary comfort?
Where will you find courage when there is no reason 
    left to be brave and bold?
Will you remain standing when everyone around you have bended?
Will you rise up even when you cant?
Where will you find strength?
Will you keep your course when all the force of fate 
    has turned its wrath against you?
Where will you find solace when there is no one left?
What of this world shall amount to your soul? I have not winced …
What great emotion shall bring you back your sanity?
What motivation shall keep you in steadfast guide? 
Despite the opinion of a hostile world.
Will you have the moral courage to persist in battle 
    when your cause is lost?
What will keep you going towards your dream 
    when fate is leading you somewhere else?
How will you differentiate friends from impostors?
What is the meaning of success? What is the meaning of failure?
Is it not, they are of the same skin? 
     Impostors that tricks us to cease fighting?
Shall we not persist in life?
     with all its joy and pain; bitter, sweet herbs of life.
What is the meaning of life?
What is the truth?
Must I persist?
Quo Vadis? I am the captain of my fate, the master of my soul …
