Tears of Agony [May 23, 2016]A Poem by Dillan CourtrightHe stands upon the bloody field As crimson drips from his steel The world is shadowed, dark and sealed Inside a nightmare of death and fear
As he walks down the path of misery His eyes bleed with tears of agony One by one, his brothers fall He watches them die, for a broken cause
A tint of red gleams off brightened steel Even in the darkness, it looks unreal He picks up another sword and stands tall Putting fate to the test, he charges the wall
He charges alone, destiny his challenge Nobody to save him, all is hanging in the balance Should he fall, there will be no one left To stand against tyrants who bring naught but death
Men fall before him in shattered pieces They start to fear the man who calls out freedom They shiver and shake, they start to tremble Until all the men, lay down their weapons
On their knees they bow before him But he keeps on walking without sin Separating his life from his skin Now his true freedom can begin © 2017 Dillan Courtright |
