Self Honored Goals

Walking about in a darkness
Yet in the bright light of the day
Not much before me
Even less behind
Sense of purpose dilluted
By the ambitions of others
And the failure to see
What was wrong all along
Right in front of me

Its a misguided set of goals
Or not being in the right place
There are those who share an ambition
To serve not our own need for power
But a purpose just to stand gaurd
On a wall in front of a fence
Protecting a the flag so many choose to ignore

There is little glory in such goals
Only a sense of self honor
And a truth despite the self intrests
Of those reaching for the top
The people know and see
The truth of those simply out
To protect those who cannot do so themselves
