Step Up To Poem by Brian Kilpatrick

This is our time and place
Our destiny has arrived
But like a dream upon waking
Our wisdom has slipped away

Painted caves painted walls
Still pictures moving forward
All doctored to show our lives

Rising from our heaven and our hells
Just one word makes the difference
But only we can tell what secrets 
Are left swimming in our wells

Somewhere between 
Tomorrow and yesterday 
We arrived unprepared
For this place

Pick up your pens
Put on your mighty armor
Take your first and last stand
Step up too
Today
