The Death March
Death,
Drones on and on above
Spanning the great sky
And roaring its creed of devastation
The cities, all howl in despair
As the winged beasts trudge on
Pummeling the jagged lives below
And the fury of hellfire,
lashes forth!
Dashing through the serpent streets
Consuming, and pillaging
Hungering and ravaging
By the quiet of dawn
Blood lust evaporates
Leaving its trail of carnage
Charred and smoldering
Stripped of its homely spirit
Yet death,
Drones on and on above
Spanning the great sky
Pistons humming and lurking
How many lives do you think were destroyed by British, American, German, Russian and Japanese bombers combined? Ughh.. I have an unhealthy obsession with the early 1900's to the late 1950's. Since the age of twelve ive been deeply infatuated with military history, especially in the time period i mentioned above. In other news, my first anthology of poems entitled "Guardian of the Inkwell: A Collection of Ramblings of the Poetic Persuasion" is now available for free at Barnes & Noble.com Link here if you wish to download or preview: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/guardian-of-the-inkwell-jr-willi-wright-william-l/1113985910
