Show Your Teeth

Call me victorious As I walk the battle grounds Head held up high Holding onto the heart of this world. Choking out the black smoke we call death. Above my head it is cradled I'll let you get out your white flag, Wave it around in this diseased air, Trudge through the bodies of the dead and through the crimson stained ground You'll make every minute go to waste Every face left blank Nothing more than an empty vessel. You'll call retreat Without looking down To see who's at your feet.

Very nice poem. My favorite stanza is the last. It really shows us how blind we are when in war to the reality of the hurt we cause. Cant wait to see your new ones -Matt =)
