Weapon of Hope

A weapon of hope, she 
stands in the breach, 
firing her deadly 
cannons of calamity 
toward the darkness.

Screams pierce the 
inky void, rising to 
crescendos before 
subsiding to whimpers 
and finally, silence.

Still the weapon of hope, 
she rises, once again 
firing her deadly cannons 
while behind her they live 
free while she stands.
