Quiet tears on a stained face
A song echoes across the land but goes unheard
By those who the song is sung for.
Those long forgotten or those just gone
This land suffered much under the calm exterior
This land once soaked in the blood of it's people
Those now forgotten and gone
For those the song is sung
Unheard by all except the survivors
The last one is the singer
The last to stay alive from the battle
Battle from many years ago
They fought for freedom and rights
Men and boys dieing in their prime
The guns firing and swords clashing
The swords swung together and in a deadlock
The swords bring the two fighters close
But one must fall as the other goes to the next battle
Swords piercing the soft flesh of the stomach
Man dieing by your arms
He was the only one to see the singer at what they were
He saw the long hair and frightened face of a girl
She tries to get the image out
Blood stained face then instead of tears now
"Why" singer asks "Why"
As she looks in the calm water
"I don't know"
"Of course. Because You're me."
I walked off again off the field that changed me
The field where I killed the enemy
A girl in the army of boys made to fight
I leave the field behind me
On the field is a single tombstone
"For those unable to hear the Song Of The Battle"
A site where you can post your works, get ideas from other writers like yourself, and get positive feedback for your poems. Just send me an E-mail, or post a comment saying I can use your ideas and I'll create a new post using your name. All poets here can use pen names if they feel uncomfortable posting their poems under real names. I also use this website as an outlet for my anger and let my mind run freely. It used to be just poems, but now It's open to all works of writing.
Hmmmm interesting.
