Bounty of Blood....

I feel the Anger of the world So many souls boiling black with hate Awaiting for the stars to scream WAR One last time I see the rage of a nation unleashed In the streets Preying on one another Humanity a spiders thread Behold the gates of HELL hath opened Black wings blossom and gather They are legion I am not afraid The time for Valor has not passed If suffering is the way to the kingdom I offer my pain and live it Or if a bounty of blood must be paid I open My veins and give it.

This is absolutely beautiful... I love the ending so much. So powerful and potent "Or if a bounty of blood must be paid, I open My veins and give it." Amazing job, here. =]

William, what a powerful poem! I fear that the next time "the stars scream WAR" it may indeed by the last time. Thank you for reading "Breaking." I wrote it after my husband died. Love, Carolyn
