Rated: E · Poetry · Military · #2280842
Doubling down on military strength is the only option - a prose poem.
Lost to those in tragic memory is the surmise
That conditions best be aimed -
Seething in the embodiment of horrific tragedies,
Indignant toward reckless, terroristic deeds -
A new life bestowed,
Strikes like a fevered response
Of highest distinction and inclusion -
The wonder and fear, blessed with eternal life -
Showing God a love
And depth so rare.

The beat of countless legends
Continues to bring tears
Of joy and solace -
Cohesive, educated,
And adjudicating lives -
Impactful promises
Reaching toward
An unquestionable eclipse
Of raw, human ambitions
And emotions…

Dedicated to the upgrade
Of a civilized humanity…
Shrinking to the hammers,
The sobering cataclysms
Of insurmountable wars -
Encompassing spare landings
Of brave, competent people -
Letting the world know
Of the impenetrable teachings
On that forgiving horizon…
