ordos45 Posted March 24, 2002 Author Share Posted March 24, 2002 Another Poem: Horrors of WarHorrors of War.There are so many.If only I had a penny for every one.I'd be the richest person under the Sun.Horrors of War.The ambush.The blood of the unsuspecting flying.The death of veterans and of kids just arriving.Horrors of War.The invasion.The enemy knows your coming.And then meets you with heavy fire.You cannot win until they tire.Horrors of War.The innocent deaths.They didn't mean to kill the civilians they say.While the enemy shouts yay.The darkness of good has been revealed.The layer of self righteousness has been peeled.So now those innocents are gone?That's just wrong.They never did anything to you.Except maybe throw a shoe.So why is it they are the first to die?Probably because they cannot resist.They are like a harmless cyst.But now the bodies are hidden in the mist.So who really is good and who is bad?Will we ever no without becoming mad?The good can be bad and the bad can be good.Its all part of the Brotherhood.The Brotherhood of War.The bond that all soldiers share,no matter where they are,or what language they speak.There is no right or wrong in war.War has never been pretty.And do not think it will start now.For we have all seen what we are up against.And we shall never crush all terrorists.For they are like cockroaches.Impossible to kill. So look on the bright side.You may not have to kill.Even if strife is now part of life.The battle lines are now blurred.There is no true front line.Civilians and military are hand in hand.Blended together as never before.For the single purpose of war.We must not break down...We must not cry...Most importantly we must not die.We must fight as never before.To end this unending war.Fear may have been planted in our minds.But not in our hearts.Because if it comes down to life or death...We will choose the strife of life.To strive, to seek, and not to yield in this war.Terrorism may meet its end one day.But we shall all be on the mend...As war has no true end.Maybe that is the true horror of war.

Usul Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 I'm in a tunnelI see the light ahead and head for itI turn from the darkness I'm inI run, run from them allThe light becomes brighterThen I realise that there is always a light at the end of a tunnelSometimes it's a flamethrower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exatreide Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 I wake up to a creak outside my door.Must be the cat I comfort my self.But the Cats sleeping beside me.Must Be my dad. But my dad never walks by. It can't be someone else i would have heard them enter.Least my doors locked.I think.The handel turnes.I hold my Breath.It dosn't open.I relax.Theres a loud crack against my door.Wood splinters hit me in the face, my cat jumps away.I see my knife lying on the floor.Fight or flight....I cant jump out the window on the roof Wood brakes in from the door.Seconds to chosefight or flight....I chose to fight.I grab the knife.I won't atack him I would die.I close my eyes and pretend to sleep.He brakes the door down and charges me with a knife.I surprise him with my own.But to late.Are Blades Peirced each otherHis Firey blood shot eyes don't blinkHis mouth turnes to grinning and blood escapes but not a sound escapes as he fades awayI push him off Seeing my own wound. Worse then his.The Pain hits me Nocking me down. My hands clamp over the wound.Vainly trying to stop the bleedingVainly trying to hold onVainly Trying to hold my fleeing soul.A muffled cry escapes my lips muffled by a wave of blood Fight or flight.....Fight or flight.....

VigilVirus Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 Name: VictoryTheme: The only victory is a war not fought ;DVictoryOn opposite sides of a beautiful plain,Stand two armies, endless in size.Sounds the battle cry, two forces meet,Soldiers scream in pain and thousands die,But through the cries of anguish and honorOne cannot here commands of retreat.Sun sets and rises, the battle goes on,Upon their dead comrades, new soldiers stand,Ready to fight and die for their nation and king.And die they will for an inch of enemy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollyon Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 I like it a lot Vigil Virus, especially the end.heres one of mine:Decline into PandaemoniumFalling deep throughout the riftMy mind descends, spreads and siftsWrenching, tearing, forever afraidpassage beyond, in chaos made.Questions hurl about my headthey drop in pain and soon are deadcuriosity lost is never regained,the sparking soul cursed and tamed.With my senses and hopes snuffed out,Insanity and pain pervading throughout.but behold a light shineth thus in the dark,panic flees, replaced by this mark.The hand of clarity grasps me firm,and in this way I feel I must learn:is this the one I so bluntly deny?I hope not.please say what you think.

Apollyon Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 Clarity in light and darkI spoke to the darkexpecting no answerhearing I stoodafraid of the void.Hark came a voiceso twisted yet clearits layers shaped meall to its whim.It spoke of evil of the dark things that lurk.And then in responseI denied it all.My mind ignored cut at the edgesthe memory warpedso hard to find.I spoke to the lightexpecting no answerhearing I stoodlistening keen.Behold was a voiceso clear and truemy heart lept at its highsand sank with its lows.It spoke of heavenof all things goodof kindness and truthand I knew it was so.I knew it was sothat all was a lieand that evil and goodwere shadows aside.

exatreide Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 hehehe thx.this one is just a first draft.Ominous entrencebecons all to enterto come and explore its darkdepthsPull the pin and throwExplosion shakes the ground. Destroying any trapsor looming personel.A vounteer is chosento be a rat in dry canals.Flash light in left.45' in rightChamberd round.Breath a prayerComerades lower you into darkness.headfirst no way to turn and flee.Crawling through the narror passage way.Shoulders pressed against the wallsarms pulling you alongA rat in dry cannals.As the tunnel bendsWhat will lie ahead?Viet Cong waiting for your head to show?Pit vipers strung from the cieling waiting for a bite?Or.....No one ever reambers the rats in dry cannals.
