This coming war seasonA Poem by isiah_holmesThe 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
