I Am a Souldier

I am a souldier.
armed with an atomic
mind, slashing through 
your heart and mind.

weapon of choice, the
sharp of a pen. so you can not
only feel the fight for air, but
yearn for it.

I will climb, walk, struggle to the
ends of this desolate grave
for you.
through barriers of blue striped
and squared white. 

we will succeed, come home
proud. we will fight those whom
most would fear.

I am a weapon of mass destruction.
I will destroy. I will demolish. I will
fight.

until the last word has flown from 
the sky, I will fight.

many are brave enough 
to follow. few are strong enough
to lead.

I am an army of many. backed 
by descendents whose pens changed 
our world of thought. we will
rise again and take over this so called
“free” world with unconditional love.

guerilla warfare. proceed
with extreme caution. then pounce 
on the laws that strike us down and 
crush them.

free. a word exploited to our ears. 
but rarely spoken true.

we will be one day. when our fruits
have crumbled 
and sky has lost its 
luster.

we will be.
and I shall smile down 
upon you. hoping for 
a loving gesture in return.

we are souldiers. fighting the
real war so that we, our thoughts,
our emotions, our words may once 
again be free. Rise! Never surrender.

always remember love and
you will never fall in shame
or despair. you will always be
remembered in my pen. 

Free.
