Divine Salutation

Behind the guise of the masks & words lay a truth concealed by clever nouns & verbs Now a fire's lit to match the lies with truth bearing an eternal flame lighting a wick with proof From the trees they shoot with a sniper's undertone engaging an atomic bomb coming overhead by drone A soldier that's underscored for walking alone by sight comes with ghosts in tow hidden within his light He understands their plight & quiet desperation but warns of stoking his fire by further escalation Born of desolation he was groomed to grow & know that he was conceived to rise despite what lay below The star of his own eternal show that many seek to hide because of a light too bright for their seedy eyes Behind the chides & snarky smart remarks hides an admiration that seems to light their spark A source of inspiration he seems to attract a hate that seems to hunger for drama that's hard to sate He responds to this by cutting it down to size leveling trees in mass that were never meant to rise His eyes are clear & not overcome by haze so, he sees the truth that overcomes malaise The brazen shots are similar to shooting stars so, he made a wish dodging the shells & shard Once scarred by love he was offered a 2nd view of deceptive hearts that like to hide the truth Unveiling frauds is sticky but he uses tact with game leaving lies exposed & them stuck with shame Ahead of his time with range exceeding years of light & what is physically possible for earthly sight He'll continue to shine & with that leave the shade behind with fallen trees & the wood they made
