A Poem by Briana O'Connor
"

50 line poem collaboration with Richard Allen Beevor, Momzilla, Pushkar Prabhat, Sindu, Realmwriter, Jordan, Music Maniac

"

Yesterday is gone

Yesterday has passed


Passed now unto Today

Passed fast by… moved on


On wings away

on clouds ever out


Out of time, out of mind;

out of place, out of space


space to live life

space to hide and die


Die a million times.

Die infinitely more


More pain to acquire

More blood to be shed


Shed in hate

Shed for dogma


Dogma  true without question

dogma no room for suggestion


Suggestion: just follow

Suggestion: stay hollow


Hollow words, empty talk

hollow halls none shall speak


Speak to me not of hatred yesterday

Speak to me of compassion today


Today, the moon says goodbye

Today, a new sun will rise


Rise to the call of the hope

Rise to the call and be transformed


Transformed our hearts and minds

Transformed all base desires


Desires to persuade the will within

Desires to conquer and prevail


Prevail we must, step by step

Prevail we will, this we pledge


Pledge our arms to the cause

Pledge to keep alive a flame


Flame dancing in beautiful glory

Flame rising hither and high


High hopes in the patriot's heart

High ideals written in blood


Blood shed upon the fields

Blood valiant and true

True to honor and to duty

True to what we knew


Knew of those times and the pain

Knew of all to lose, to gain


Gain! What gain?

Gain an experience, sufficient!


Sufficient

Gain

thanks. this was a lot of fun. :D
A great team work indeed.. Writing this would have so much like playing a game.. It has come out very nice, and feel this would have been quite tough.. Something amazing it is; emanates a sense of togetherness and consequently strenght..
