Fixed eyes, silenced Voices  
Bodies in rigid attention  
Soldiers prepared to follow me in combat  
Battle lines are traced by my hands  
Positions taken
Defined Formations  
Under my command
A discipline veil  
Is what separates us
from complete hysteria  
Each one of us knows  
That the order of our arrays  
Shortly will give place  
To the desperate screams of mouths  
Flowing blood
Swords and axes will cut men to the middle
But, at this time, we faced  
An enemy still more insidious and cruel  
The Silence


 "Only in the dreams , is that man can truly be free
It was always thus and always thus will be"

I like your signature quote too  

 ~as always, Take Care,JM~
--------------
I know it's been a long road
To get these towns behind me and I
Will gladly reap what we may sow--
I am there for you ...
and you're there for me ...
Are you waiting for
Heart in hand
Woman and man
See me where I stand I am
Heart
Heart in hand
~vertical horizon~

Thank you netswan and Jbouder!

a sequel , well I never thought about that, I made this poem months ago , but it doesn't seem a bad idea at all...
Maybe tomorrow...

Brilliantly done
the silence is utter murder to the nerves
