Battling For Earth

When the earth stood still
Annd the sun refused to give 
her shine
Then the moon was dark
And the foundation of the 
world was shaken

Then women trumpeted the 
battle cry
Children bath in rage ready to 
fight
Merceneries defies tradition 
and pledges loyalty
Cowards led the advance force 
to the enemies

Who would have  thought that 
women would draw arms
Or children see the horrors of 
battle 
Merceneries loyal and patriotic 
without pay
Not even cowards turning 
brave men overnight

The situation warrants such in 
high demand
The human race is in the face 
of a total extermination
Horrible aliens from space has 
drawn first blood
Terror like never before has 
overtaken the earth

Far greater than the horrors of 
Hiroshima
Exceeds the cold bloodedness 
of hitlers holocaust
Cant be compared to the two 
world wars combined
War declared on the entire 
human race

Now tell me,why wont women 
draw arms
Or children not taste the 
horrors of battle
Mercenaries turning fighting 
patriots  for a cause
And cowards marching 
headlong to the death with an 
unmatched bravery

It is either now or never
We fight them or we die
We must match fearless to the 
war front
We must do battle for our 
planet.

A fight to the death
A glorious fall in battle
A hero's welcome at the end
A victorious jubilation for our 
land.

Children did see the rage of 
battle
Women all drew arms
Coward always at the 
fore,leading the advance
And mercenaries passionate 
for one cause.

The sun rose again
The earth had been saved
The moon once more gave her 
shine
And the foundation of the 
world returned to its place.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
