Into Unknown

Into Unknown

Embark, they cried,

Let not fear nor false promises

Inhibit your lust for freedom.

Let us cast off our shackles

At the expense of whomever;

For tomorrow belongs to us.

Disregard, they implied,

Or stated bluntly in some cases,

For who has greater need than we?

Let us plough the fertile field

And uproot that which is hated;

For tomorrow belongs to us.

Take pride, they amplified,

And rage against the dying embers,

For from the ashes glory will rise.

Let us never wane nor compromise

In our quest for domination

For tomorrow belongs to us.

Not us, they testified,

We could not have foresaw;

As they weep at the feet of destruction.

Let us take refuge now and hope

That golden sky will yet prevail;

For tomorrow may never come.

I love, love, LOVE this! This is a very powerful piece. I especially love how the first line of each stanza went with the same rhyming scheme. It really helped drive the point through. Great work!
