"Luna's Plea to Aurora"

Some long nights are dreadful

Evil has torn the streets

Thus leaving it bare

Silence lurking as it peeps

Another house up there

Humanity chanting as we call

Heavens hear our pray'r

Keep our household away from harm

In this forbidding lair

Staggering footsteps roused the hounds

Manned gates so vigilantly

See no lights, hear no sound

Watchful souls waiting to flee

Whirlybird flies back and forth

Awaiting for first light

Hope infixed in our hearts

That we may survive the night

"Luna's Plea To Aurora"
L.C. Jarrette,
Your poem is a layered work of black and white, evil and good. Can we people see the difference? I wonder sometimes. Have we become softened to evil, to lies, to subterfuge?

In this forbidding lair"
Oh, we need the voice of truth and the motivation to address the things which cause trouble in our and others lives.
Great poem.

A powerful poem. To live with terror and war near. Would be a very hard life.

I hope you are doing alright. I served for almost 15 years in the Army. I saw places where the poor people had to live with war near. I pray daily. These wars end and kids can be kids.

Another wonderful poem. You can feel the fear in the people's heart. This for some reason reminded me of the Battle of Hogwarts.
