PhoenixA Poem by Ron SandersCall to arms.Phoenix
Strangers were following my daughter! These f*****g solicitors have got to go! I’m telling you, man, we’re wasting our time just waiting here! What purpose did we serve by paying taxes…who knows whose pockets were being lined? I’m gonna kill those b******s who hit me up for all I own every time I leave the shelter.
All who were summoned are gathered?
Yes, here! And here! Sing to us of the world to be! Here, sir! Impatiently have we waited.
The New Order is upon us. The New Way is born. No longer shall we lean to the hive: our troops are eager and many, our bond to the old way torn. We can take back what is ours when ready, and readiness speaks to us now. Justice shall fire our will to engage, and vengeance shall be our vow. Brave were our men of lore, creative our soulful kind, condemned now to scorn and ashes; their words, as our homes and futures, burned in gutless battle. To ashes! Razed for time out of mind.
Ashes! Yes, guide us! Yes, we are certain. Command us.
Burned to ashes! Gutted by flames from afar! To ashes our hopes and our reasons to dream. To ashes, to embers and char. Call to your brothers, and sync with their ire! Destiny sings of a new reign of fire! The Old Order flags behind us. So those who wallow in shame shall burn, and in their detritus find us, for we are the phoenix of Man.
Yes, the phoenix! The phoenix! The phoenix of Man!
Those who challenge the flame shall burn, for we are the phoenix of Man.
The phoenix! The phoenix! Us! We are the phoenix!
Those who hamper the lame shall burn, for we are the phoenix of Man.
The phoenix! We are the phoenix! We are the phoenix of Man!
Those who sleep with same shall burn, for we are the phoenix of Man.
We are the phoenix of Man!
Those who traffic in gold shall burn, for we are the phoenix of Man.
We are the phoenix of Man!
Those who fleece the old shall burn, for we are the phoenix of Man.
We are the phoenix of Man!
Those who barter in pain shall burn, for we are the phoenix of Man.
We are the phoenix of Man!
Those who conjure to reign shall burn, for we are the phoenix of Man.
We are the phoenix of Man!
Those who tarnish the air, or malign the poor, or pollute our roads, or hamper our growth, or for even one pregnant, vile stutter in time, dare to pollute our sweet children’s minds, shall burn and burn and burn and burn.
We are the phoenix of Man! We are the phoenix of Man! We are the phoenix of Man! © 2024 Ron Sanders |
