ENCOUNTER WITH GENERAL GEORGE WASHINGTON

War is endless The Winters harsh Soldiers are dying Food and Water scarcity How much longer are the Solders to bare Freedom and opposition take time and endurance The Solders are embattled in their own physical survival Tears pour in how long? All for war that will not get any better One by one the Solders are falling Like Ten Little Indians and there was none Do you even care? Without Solders there is no war Without Freedom no peace What are you expecting? The skies wonder of your mind Wintry winds urging stop this battle Voices of deceased Soldiers speak Devastation being an aftermath Miles of Mils of destruction for what America to gain? Longer the battle Death being times past, present and current Moment of precise time Standing for Freedom whether I die or live No matter what, my spirit will rise and live again Stood as long as I could General Washington I beg and plead My emotion shouts Stop this war before it’ too late I see fate in an endless battle My tears pour for the weary My heart extends for what is right Your task I can no longer foster Life is about striving No longer the skies overlooking this wilderness Agonizing echoes The wounded Soldiers are torn and can no longer do battle Moans of pain Silenced voices Spirits that rose Sorrows that follow Another tomorrow with no end.
