Symphony of DestructionA Poem by Undying GloryMy first fantasy-type poem. Hope you like this one!Symphony of Destruction The dark rises over the world. Over dark, distant valleys and the mountains high Stained deep crimson in the slowly fading twilight, The stark, bloody reminder to all who pass Of the forgotten, slain and lost, Tarnishing the glory of our world, Under blackened sky and shattered earth Through rains of fire and cries of hateful mirth. And over the plains far and wide Upon the bitter snow and bloodied ice Before you the fallen lay sprawled Frozen forever in their final death throes, As the warriors stand upon the peaks. The bitter cry of vengeance and hate Peals out across the farthest corners of the world The cry of pain and anguish For a land wronged once ago, Now the seeds of war, we have just sown. Who shall speak for the victims of your own hatred? Torn asunder by the cruel, cold steel of thine blades Discriminating not between guilt and innocence As one by one, or in their own massive groups They fall under your scythe, Know this, your crimes will follow you past the end of your life. As metal monstrosities ravage the earth and skies And the warriors press on under broken lives and honor tarnished The cries of the oppressed still go unnoticed by all As they pray in their silent sobs Upon innocent comrades slaughtered, Upon families ripped to shreds, Upon sovereignty shattered beyond recognition Until finally, they cry no more As sorrow morphs into vengeance, and vengeance to gore. The earth weeps, can you not hear? And in the distant darkness The sound of their sadistic laughter echoes round, So amused by those in pain and suffering, Not a single shred of empathy in their hearts, As they watch entire nations being torn apart. Shall we ever see the dawn again?
