I love the gutsy optimism of this poem about fighting darkness with the weapons of love and truth. I’m inspired by the idea that hope springs eternal and that forgiveness is strength because it frees us from the chains of hatred that ensnare us. We can fight a battle of integrity and love, remaining true to ourselves and refusing to stoop down to the level of those who would bring us down.
In fact I pretty much like all of the poems on this blog, from inspiring ones about the beauty of creation, to happy ones about his sweet wife, and powerful poems about the struggle of faith, so I thought I’d share it with you tonight. Nicodemas writes great First Nations micro fiction as well, and is great at responding to comments if you leave one. Enjoy!
Some try to use fear,
as a weapon,
the idea is to make you crumble,
wanting you to be weak,
so they can be strong.
No.
They are not strong,
and they can never win,
they don’t know what a victory is.
We will win,
because we can have weapons,
they do not understand,
they cannot comprehend,
love,
truth, and freedom,
faith (the trusting kind).
Joy and peace,
are strong defenders,
rocks,
that cannot be moved.
So when the fighting is tough,
put on your armor,
don’t forget your shield,
your sword,
fight strong,
fight hard,
keep loving,
and forgiving,
speaking.
You may get hurt,
but get up,
and fight again.
Be the warrior,
you were meant to be,
do what is right,
be the light,
be the love.
Hope always wins,
always. 
Blessings to everyone and PEACE!
