In The Time Of Siths

In The Time Of Siths
by Tricia Pattinson

Once more the Sith will rule
Seemingly take us
To a galaxy far far away

Where fear grows day after day

A single command moves
Like a sword unleashed
Out of control power released

Sweeping away the helpless

Death by warring
Executions by beheadings
The fabled Death Star replicating overhead

If you can hide your light is it worth it to survive?

The lasers of ole
Education; community mind
Are naivete and gullible beliefs and fatal

Lies and deceptions from far away currency

The new laser vanquishes
The weakest and slowest
Tripped up by not noticing Fears tidal waving

Beware that far far galaxy is merging here

War and pestilence the sword's tip
Genocide the slicing rip
Away, far away the warning sounds

The Sith are now in charge!

This strikes a note of genuine feeling and is conveyed very clearly. You seem to have a knack for nailing emotion down without struggling for words. Very nicely done and much enjoyed
