~~~~~~~~~~ *-* ~~~~~~~~~~~
Emblematic pebble - prevailing existence
Delineate unfathomable sense
Lifeless yet undergone changes - metamorphosis
Unambiguous yet peculiar at stasis
Blunt, vague yet worthy - gist always camouflaged
Craggy yet core debonair perfection deluged
Stepped yet resilient - unvanquishable
Perfunctory entity - nitid thing for tangible
Better not be a lustrous gem for it will last
I'm a road stone in a trodden route not blown by gust.
~~~~~~~~~~ *-* ~~~~~~~~~~~
Pernicious weapons shall not devastate
An unvanquishable nation, an indestructible state
Lust for blood rips thousands’ bodies apart
Each slaughtered by a master of slaying art
Salvaged from inhumanity of humankind
They rise to Heaven for eternal peace of mind
Into the air, their invincible spirits float
“Never give up”, with their blood they wrote
Eternity will witness the victory we await
