When The Smoke Clears

by johann-mitterhauser

Worse than the cries of grown men turning me fearful Is the silence of the night Worse than the shrills of executed people Is the calm before the great fight Coming to terms with being confronted by what I cannot face Resigned to the fact, this could very well be my final resting place So with the inevitable engagement close at hand logic would discard panic, to formulate a plan And if I am the one who lay Whenever the smoke might clear Let the one standing tall know Of him, I had no fear
