Honor and Code

There are times when you want to find an answer so badly that your head starts to ache. Trying to look for that one thing that everybody asks themselves every now and then; “what am I willing to die for?” Such a simple question made of complexity and all these deep emotions that penetrate the skin, shattering the bone. Is so much more, is beyond the superficial. Is more than love, hate, acceptance or disgrace. Is about the honor! The legacy you wish to leave of yourself. Many have failed trying to aim high, but let’s face it; we all offer what we have.

I’ll die for justice, for glory and wealth. There are many people out there with ambition. Consuming their thoughts with criticism, ripping souls apart. Wondering if I am good enough to fit the standards that society puts in our lives. Not taking chances and matters into my own hands. And all of it is for being too afraid, afraid of raising my voice high. So high that everybody in the other side of the ocean could hear it! Wanting to make myself the owner of my emotions. Not letting others interfere. What a beautiful thing to do! Instead of pointing out our flaws and imperfections, those are the things that make us unique reflecting who we are and showing our typical human nature.

I’ll die for glory because I still have hope. They tend to take my dreams away, make me believe I can’t succeed. Always find myself thinking that I am doing something wrong. I’ll die for those that put on a fight whenever they take away our rights. Rights that guarantees us freedoms concerning religion, expression, assembly, and the right to petition. I’ll die for wealth. A clean state of mind, because memory can hunts us in our darkest times. I am a sinner, a sinner that prays for forgiveness. I implore pity and mercy to a god I don’t believe in. I believe in a god that doesn’t judge and makes exceptions for his children. A god that can trust and his love is based on courage, confidence, dreams and optimism. I don’t believe in a god that labels people. Black, White, Hispanic, Asian, Hetero or Homosexual; for Christ sake, don’t you get we are all people!  

I’ll die for humanity, for my word, and my freedom…
