Poem Title:
Poem
Timeless and ancient…it has been universally practiced… Either unwilling…or longed for… never to be abandoned...entwined in all… never to be suppressed… Plagued by loss…filled with bitter hatred at those that caused such suffering… Shattered hearts torn by exposure to the violence…seen by all as a grim reminder of fate… Viewed through the far away instrument of destruction… detached from the battle…vital to victory…impossible to shake the horrors of hiding in Death’s shadow to bring a soul to Hell’s burning depths… Supposed skill needed to take life from those unable to see their killer…cold unseeing eyes eternally search longingly for the soul claiming theirs… The public eye turns away from the horror…unwilling to face the sacrifices made to protect their lies and false hopes… Brave souls face the pain… selflessly subjected to the loss of comrades and brothers in spilt blood…if only to fulfil the timeless call to arms…for one more battle…neither a triumph weighed against the price of young lives…paid to briefly continue the paper thin screens of security… Souls snatched without warning and claimed by Death’s embrace…shattering hearts with cold precise theft…fear of loss…amazement at briefly extended life after a spell of carnage…brings all emotions rushing to be forcefully released a final time in desperation… Determined warriors unwilling to fight…but eager to win to stave off future battles and loss…harmed and saved only by Death’s bringer and opposition… Willingly exposed to conflict and danger…needed to mend Death’s halfhearted lust for souls…overflowed with loss and hope for an end to the horrors of solitary survival…as the unsuccessful attempts at salvation for the broken balance with the recovering fragmented couriers of Death… Overall…a victory with no reward…a triumph pale in comparison to the means of acquiring it…pointless and vital to existence…eternal and ingrained in the hearts of all… forever to be waged against Death’s evils and wrongs…Life’s losing victor
