Judgement
Listen to poem:
Waves of knives
piercing through the barriers
their judgement
infecting the defenses
built up over time
claiming that's what they see,
unknowing the backlash it will bring
think before you attack,
the foundations that were laid before this onslaught
will remain long after your retreat.
The clearing seems unending
gathering up the pieces
Can we repair the damage?
We've sent word of peace with no response,
at which action do they stand back and re-evaluate their position
stubborn
no sign of defeat
I'm going have to make the first move in person
side stepping the messenger assassinated along the route
blades at the throat..
"I 'am here to see the one that claims to be above".
Pressured released
Just as I imagined
a known weakness lays in front,
if not seen through
I could forgive myself if I postured near their scent,
a sight to behold.
I nod to the oncoming advances
for it is "I" that caused this trouble between us,
for that you believe.
Does Love conquer all?
I should return to my land
for it is left unguarded
