Cut Down By Deeds of History's Warlords

Cut Down By Deeds Of History's Warlords Saddened with their agony and deep pain, the black of nights slowly passed on away: Purple hearts can never ever explain, war's dark, needless battle deaths anyway! Dear sweet memories soothe a wounded mind thus bringing much needed relief to bear. Twilight's brings on another sad hurt kind, stripping shattered souls so completely bare. Darkness and misery grinds the brave stone, where hope hides in such strange shadowy fjords. Lives wasted, brave people forever gone, cut down by deeds of history's warlords! Heaven will judge right those souls forced to die! Hell will burn warlords, we need not ask why? Robert J. Lindley, 2-21-2015 Sonnet: Perfect tens 100 words..

If Eileen is the Queen of Romance then you are the King of Sonnets! Great write. In these trying times we have warlords and it seems the left wing nuts out there, not only refuse but lobby so that soldiers of honor can not defend those innocents being slaughtered! They are as guilty as the war lords themselves.
