When I heard it will fall in the sixties.

‘Twas damp, cold and lonely - not much bigger than a closet.
But the little room within me is mine.
It has no niceties such as a bed chamber but
To one side – when pressed upon hard...

The sun shines at night while the moon
Illunates the busy day 
Plane run on railway tracks and let the
Train fly up there in the sky

To fight or not to fight?
The arrows scream past your walls and traps
Your men rush to the fore
You action a march as you look upon the kingdom maps

This is war, a fiery frenzy 
Every second...

The sun rises yet again,
And with it another battle to begin.

Never Converse With Chaos
