![]() How eager you rush To answer His call With speed of thought Your honed Excalibur falls Morbid blade singing A death march allegiance As you zeal to duty In sterile obedience I’ve watched you race Through the jungle Saw your handiwork Face to face Seen mortal bodies Cut to pieces Heard death cries Of souls fleeing flesh When my fate You must deliver Before you wield Me to sleep Thankfully yielding I’ll whisper Do you weep? Do you weep? |

This hurts to read and makes me weepy. The high cost of freedom is tragic indeed. Well said, Bloodline~ |

Living hell both then and afterwards for those who survived this. My thoughts today and always go both to those who have their names on the wall and those who don't. A striking poem Bloodline making a deep impression in my heart. Heart2Heart |

"I’ve watched you race Through the jungle Saw your handiwork Face to face Seen mortal bodies Cut to pieces Heard death cries Of souls fleeing flesh" I'm so grateful to have been spared this. Indeed a most intense write which leaves the heart heavy. Helen |

"Heard death cries Of souls fleeing flesh" ~ Painfully and vividly graphic. The entire poem grabbed me by the solar plexus and made my heart weep. Excellent write. Now I think I'll go back and read your skinny dipping poem again... Love, Light, and World Peace, EA ![]() |
