Defiance 2 Poem by Egal Bohen

I defy the morning rising
Though I saw the setting sun

I defy that night is coming
Even though my day is done

I defy all that is spoken
But seek truth where ‘ere its from

I defy the masses massing
Knowing not their right or wrong

I defy all of creation
Yet I sense I do belong

I defy the very tempest
Though I know I am not strong

I defy all life’s illusions
Yet love what they're built upon

I defy that death will take me
It's long lonely journey on

I defy the very moment
When all things return to one

I defy the state of nothing
Which is why I wrote this song

And my spirit will be fighting
Still defiant, on and on

When all around
Is dressed in silence

After everything
Has gone
