Battlefield
Ben Pratt Feb 2010
Lightning screams
Across the sky.
Thunder roars.
The Angels cry.
The Gods enraged
At our hate
Raise our Demons,
To seal our Fate.

The sky, is grey.
The ground ****** red.
The crosses clutched.
Our kin long dead.

Cause unknown
Excuses made.
The life of the wounded
Slowly fades.

A single tear upon the ground
I have shed,
Next to where I see my friend,
Lying dead.
Although it's sad,
This is war.
The irony is; Living
That's what we are dying for.

The Tower
Ben Pratt Feb 2010
Atop a time-lashed tower;
The wind carries a Babble of ancient tongues;
Bringing with, the answers
To questions I haven't asked.

Blasphemous Tower to the sky;
Fallen with unity, to disgrace;
Brings Him to us.

Separation through language,
Unity through Faith;
Connection greater than any tongue can offer.
