Leave This Place

Get away from this place

This dark and awful place

Though bullets do not rain in these halls

Though bombs to not shake its foundation

 

A new pain is felt

Dark as his blood

Light as the flag

Tears fall here

 

I feel my brother’s hand

Dead to the world am I

One has fallen

Another continues the war

 

Get away from this place

This dark and awful place

Take him away from this place

Take me away, on wings of the black eagle

 

Place of horrors

Place of fears

Place of lies

Place of murders

 

The Wolf’s Den

Sing, please, of the world above

Sing of lamplight and rain

Let your voice echo, sing

 

“Sing, brother, sing,”

The war screams

“Sing to me my victim,

So that I may taste your blood.”

 

White flags

Stained by red blood

Concrete pit

Hides the thing within

 

Get away from this place

This dark and awful place

Cling to your brother

Raise the flag or fight the war

 

Get away from this place

This dark and awful place

Destined for this cold and desolate place

Fated for death

 

Leave this place!

Author's Note

I actually wrote this as part of a fanfic :3 Which I might post here, but my sister is telling me I have to make it lighter and give it a happy ending. She was expecting something funny when she asked me to write the fanfic but I wrote something extremely dark and heavy... Any feedback/criticsm is greatly appreciated!

Dark indeed, but many people...whole nations, even...have to live like this. Not everyone can leave places of oppression, of course. A sad indictment on the so-called civilized world. A good write.

I like the feel and the desire of this poem. Sometime can be surrounded and have no escape.
"Get away from this place
This dark and awful place
Cling to your brother
Raise the flag or fight the war"
Thank you for a outstanding poem.
