The Deathless RebornA Poem by R.J Calzonetti (SinisterPotatoe)A reboot of one of my first poems, The Deathless. I wanted to continue where I left off, but better.Deathless Reborn We fight for grace, honour, debased but traces this space with the strength to circumvent the offenders, never surrender Until the moment I’m a goner, I will harness my trauma and bury my enemies carcass, force you to remember Under the yonder, defeated by the monsters of the Deathless We are the pieces of a puzzle, unsolved, subtle The blood puddled on the battleground shows the muddled struggles of a warrior Together under the red flag of the Emperor’s dismemberers, the reaper is nothing but an unbeliever, in the eyes of the Deathless Broken banners of shattered shields, splattered guts, and battered wills, voyagers that simply kill for the thrill and feel of the fight because it’s our right, our meal, the only thing that’s real Screaming war cries, til the sunrise, ’s on these fields, feel our might as the demons yield try to escape our greatness, with their lives, survive our evil, what a lie We bring the carnage with honest blood and steel, magic so real, bullets that feel the strength and merciless murderous intent of the unbroken women and men of the Deathless The others fear us, some revere us, others mirror us to take our form, like we take the world by storm, reborn forlorn sworn to wage battle on the newborns scorn, rattle them with our chants, we were born for battle, from our armour to our bones, our dance of warriors lances, swords, and war horns, last chance, end the war with one charge, unbarred, a storm Slipping through the hands of god like sand, born to murder our burdens, worn but never broken ever learning, strong and never weakened, playing but never beaten, speaking through the bleakness so potent, resistance is hopeless, the skirmish is over, turn the tide even if the army’s the size of oceans like it’s the language we’re speaking, and your silence is hopeless, we’ll leave you bleeding, motionless, broken in a moment We go seeking the gold at the end of this rigorous road, the story told from hearts so cold, that they froze boldly in the days of old that hold onto the only memory of the Deathless, nostalgia that’s precious, from blood and effort, to set the record straight No other can face our brothers, face fate, wait to be slaughtered and martyred we are the fire starters burning down your base, erasing any chance of patency, sacredly breaking ye Forsaking your broken bodies as they bleed to keep our code, break the mould, with evil souls and hearts of coal, colder than the hoards on the border of this land, stronger than god has made a man While we take the opponents base in storm on land because this is the only norm we know, demanding to keep standing, reprimanding send our enemies below, abandoned, leave them buried under the snow, and rain their blood onto the world, to sacrifice the lives of others, just another number in the name of the Deathless Behold the power making our enemies bow like cowards to the flower blooming in the desert, resurrected letters that form your better, never surrender to the last defender The weathered feathers of a phoenix, the same tune as before but remixed sounding the cleanest, we are an achievement you better believe it, slaying demons in a sequence, in a moment, make you hopeless, you're full of hole, open, indecent Feelings from years ago or recent foes we are reliving those speaking tomes given sinning winning realized in the realness of, continuing from the beginning felt in the hearts and minds of the Deathless, unforgiving, for we will never die Spoken in the tongue of The Deathless For the day that these words will once again scream from the mouths of our enemies We are reborn © 2018 R.J Calzonetti (SinisterPotatoe)Author's Note
