Casey Strong Poet Rhyme

Every Day Fray

From humanities onset,
Before consciousness and intelligence met
Or our ever-present, fear-ridden fret
Of our own self-induced, war-torn threat,
Unseen by eyes unobservant,
There’s been an eternal cosmic war event.

Aloft let eyes stray 
To the grounds of the bloody fray
Between the entities called night and day.

In the battle of dawn
Day demonstrates its brawn, 
Thereby banishing night from sight
By flooding the sky with its light.

In the battle of twilight
Night becomes days plight
By battling to reclaim its ground,
Inevitably winning without an uttered sound.

This conflict fought with undying devotion,
Devoid of any kind of emotion,
It’s not their perpetual damnation
But is their purpose: our salvation.

From humanities onset,
Before our consciousness and intelligence met, 
It’s been unquestionably evident,
Though to eyes unobservant,
That life couldn’t survive without this cosmic event.

Danesh Morgan July 25, 2013 at 9:47 PM the war is not fought on earth, but in the heaven above, is that what you are saying? any way its beautiful . Casey Strong July 25, 2013 at 10:03 PM It’s about how there is a war in the heavens – from my point of view that is –, one of which we need, and it’s been going one before us and before our wars that we are completely unaware of until we look up, and that we should look up. I’m glad you liked it Danesh.

April Gabriella July 25, 2013 at 9:17 PM This is a really nicely written piece. I like! :) Casey Strong July 25, 2013 at 9:53 PM Thank you April. Glad you enjoyed it.

Richard Lamoureux July 25, 2013 at 8:28 AM Good morning Casey, I did a rewrite on my Ice King Powm. Let me know what you think. Casey Strong July 25, 2013 at 9:52 PM I just read it and thought it was phenomenal; definitely better then the first. Casey Strong July 25, 2013 at 9:50 PM While driving home from work one night the thought came to my head of how night and day are almost fighting a war with each other in the heavens, and that’s what inspired this poem.

Richard Lamoureux July 23, 2013 at 9:36 PM Kind of makes me think about how war is being fought with technology. Somehow even war has become detached. This is a powerful piece, I'm glad you introduced yourself.
