Poems
Oct 2010
After the Vengeance
Dragon slain,
Vile creature,
Pillaging our home.
Family lying dead
Torn to ****** shreds
In the rubble of destruction.
Senseless slaughter,
Unreasoning winged monster,
Murdering and razing.
Vengeance has been mine.
Hunted down, to its bower,
Slain without mercy.
As it has shown none,
So have I.
Vengeance sought and found.
Exhaustion, grief, pain,
Now mine,
Tell me I have lived this horror.
But going on?
Inconceivable,
Grief unreliquished.
Sinking to my knees,
Praying to that God,
Begging final peace.
No answer given.
Only the quiet sound,
Of one spared.
Calling for help,
Beneath debris,
Safely sheltered.
Tis my own,
My child,
My reason.
