This coming war season

This coming war season

A Poem by isiah_holmes

The breeze that has come fresh 
Fresh from its womb
The breeze has brought splintered rebel's hope
And dread
And anticipation
Glee and forward looking towards the war season
The war season is on its way

The air is hot, yet these bodies i spy march cold
The air invites future rebellion
But worse, things worse for the boy's and girl's I know
For some, their journey is over
Finished and through-done
They will venture now, scatter from their birth place
Scatter like shrapnel across this patch of earth
Blitz about the ground with fury and excitement
They will not need the Cabin-the Den
That old dead dog is long dead
            The swine pace and patrol it's grave still

For the younger few, for the younger children
They will roam about the caged city as we did
As we did, as we have done
Left our mark and stamps and brands
Tags
Identities on the wood of the homes and buildings here
Left our trail, stomped it into the ground with passion
Soiled it willfully as our number of hunters grew
They have grown, they are now legion
They are the armed majority poise and dedicated to capture
Capture, capturing what remains of the saliva we have to spit
Engraved into the ground of the place
          We will hop the gate and claim cold freedom

They will roam, remain in this place
Waiting patiently for their turn to hop the gate-border
They will occupy their own Cabins and Dens and Cribs
They will surely divulge foul secrets to willing friends
Share coded love and hate through each other's skins and minds
But they will learn, they will see and from sight they will learn

The breeze carries with it a promise
A promise for release, release to more glamorous fights
The pig will shed as our enemy
And the world will become a relentless competitor
