Conquest Poems - Poems about Conquest

They came with flags, with fire, with steel, Spoke of trade, yet came to steal. Lands once free, now marked and chained, A stranger's law, a tyrant's reign. They mapped the sky, they named the trees, Measured rivers, claimed the seas. Their words replaced the native tongue, Ancient songs left unsung. Not just land—our minds they took, Rewrote the past in gilded books. Fed us...

Deforestation Sore cosmos, maimed nature Silently pouring irate invective On myopic mortals Without a lamp or vista Beauty lost to the beast Pristine lands, barren grounds Green fields, brown meadows Nature mislay, love lost Man's gain, nature's pain Buy the forest, sell it not The Owl mourns its lost cottage The Lion roars in disillusion At the sight of its looted Kingdom Elephants trumpet in hunger...

Spies, scout out the Promised Land. Let our eyes see what God has planned. Never mind what He's already done, Can we trust the powerful One? When we saw the Anakites there, The terror was too much to bear. More numerous and taller, Our confidence grew smaller. Do not be terrified of them! You are not being led by whim. He says, "I'll go ahead...

At Austerlitz I two nations vanquished; making me historically distinguished. At Marengo I had Austria subdued; then I was to honour undoubtedly glued. At the Pyramids, Mamluks kissed the sands; then like a French Pharaoh I annexed their lands. At Jena-Auerstadt, Prussia to her knees fell, to avoid carnage, and possibly hell.

...“For two years we tried, but ambushes came, they hit and run, would not stand up and fight, the meadows were deadly, the forests were hell, wherever we went, we were in their sights. “Imagine one hundred million peasants as well armed as a soldier of the line… add to that an army not defeated, shelling their own cities, time after time. “Just...
