Battles never end well for one side,
In the Begging, it was the British who took the fall, one of his might
Ship sunk do to the Kriegsmarine,
Many people died in this battle, many families torn
Apart do to the war, many people served there country with honor, others not,
Revered as the most powerful ship at the time, the people
Clinging for there country on these Battleships, the
Kriegsmarine was now defeated

You are the light, bright and beautiful
Burning through bridges made to hold you
You are the bold colours that burst through broken systems
the voice we never knew we needed
You are the music written by the greats
Forgotten by the world and found by me.
so I bath in your light and dance to your music
and hold your secrets dear for you are someone great
And the years I missed you was a terrible wait.

Launch light flashing
Bombs on the way
Fire in the hole

Rockets heading down range
Anything that can be fired
And **** is sent to do the job

That of enemy eradication
The landscape is like the Moon
All vegetation ceases to exist

As does most of the soldiers
They are spread over the landscape
In ****** bits and pieces

They knew what they were
Signing up for before
To be blown to ******* bits

This is just one small hill
Remember the warriors
For they own this land

As I become lesser
I feel you
progressing
taking over
the little space
that is left
devouring
my whole
overpowering
my all
The battle is over.

“Sunrise used the night's darkness
and massacred the stars in front of their mother's eyes (moon)

The court of the galaxy has sentenced him to death

You can watch the execution at sunset time.”

————————————————————

Sunset used the dusk’s dark, burnt orange
& beautiful breeze
to distract, and cloud
the court of her deceitful deeds

But a new dawn will rise
and the sun will shine a crisp, clear, blue truth through the clouds  
and the morning’s mist...

Case dismissed!!👩‍⚖️⚖️👨‍⚖️
A friend "Sunset" (from Iran, not a native speaker) wrote an incredible poem accusing/condemning the sunrise of ******! She asked for, but nobody initially defended

[Even though I do prefer sunsets... as an American we’re told all people are supposed to be treated “innocent until proven guilty” and that everyone has the right to an attorney and fair trial.] You choose who is guilty!

A young boy
Naive and unaware
Of the enemies that lie
Across the ocean's edge
Ignorant
Of what he'll do to them
Once he grows up.

Do you feel our pain?
Do you feel the hopelessness that we do,
Crushing in around us every day?

Do you stop and wonder what it’s like to live a life in a dying world?

Do you feel the pain?
It doesn’t hurt for us, not anymore.
It’s not pain, it’s just life.
It’s all we know.
We’ve known from the start, and we somehow find the strength to get up.

We get up.
Every.
Day.

We are forced to fight.
We see the faults in this world.
We love this terrible, wonderful place.
We were born here.
We will die here?

In the end, do we die?
Possibly the most dramatic thing I’ve ever written. I wrote it right before going to bed because I had this sudden inspiration. It’s mostly about how climate change is ruining the planet and we could eventually die of it. Wow, I’m so dramatic sometimes.

you
In my mind,
there is a war.
a never ending,
bloodied sound.
In my body,
there was a soul.
that is now nowhere,
to be found.
In my essence,
there was a will.
a feeling so negative,
so profound.
Although my psyche,
is in 50:50,
there is still a part,
in my heart,
where my hope in living,
is still existing.
“You.”
thank you for staying.

I have good days as well as bad
I'm still learning to love myself how I am
Self love is an everyday battle
But it's a battle that I refuse to lose

Even when the sun shined bright
She stood in her armor, prepared for a battle that might never come
She was a warrior
Whose battle was with her own mind.
