Disoriented steel crouches and covers its ears from
bellowing glass.
While falling angels
seek refuge in finality,
to the sound of shattered picture frames.
Hastening hands grip
bewildered hearts with heartening faces;
Black and gold knights
on sunset stallions,
charging a dragon
perched upon greatness.
Threatening the kingdom
with eyes of hatred,
cause,
and faith.
We lay crippled,
belly exposed.
Outstretched arms pleading why,
before falling still.

Security slain.
Peace pillaged.
Eyes open, and angry.



I'm on my feet, I'm on the floor, I'm good to go
All I need is just to hear a song I know

A very good examination of conflict.  Your poem is brief while expressing much.  Good job.
