I understand your world is different and
Advanced from the ancient days.
But where you lead is a repeated past
And you are similar in her ways.

I send my formal warnings,
To those who hear my call.
To the world do cold and raged, I say,
Beware! For you will soon fall.

The looming clouds of war grow menacing,
Threatening the fragile banner of peace.
And the furied hawks of chaos will
Tear her up with ease.

Go and solve your conflicts
With a true and gentle heart.
For the war the Eagle calls for
Shall shred you all apart.

I've seen glimpses of your future,
Where your world is bleak and scarred.
Dead beyond repair.
The outcom of this war.

I'm afraid the time grows near
Where this place will be my domain.
For if the battle goes forth,
Not one life shall remain.

Do not take the path of destruction,
For it's deadly as a thousand thunders.
Follow the road of peace,
Or else be rent asunder.

- Sincerely
Death

oooo very wise. Loved this!

Sad, but true.  It brings painful tears to my eyes.  Beautiful..

Wow, I dunno if it was meant to or not, but this evoked thoughts of 9/11 and the upcoming war, and such. Powerful peice, and I liked the scenario of it being a message from Death. Kind of gives you a "being caught by a parent on vacation" kinda feel.

sighs, with a thank you, I think.
