Oh Valor Dead Valor

War of Empire and religion

In chains I wander
In schackles I came
In faith I walk
In hope I ponder
In love I die



Drums are pounding a silence kept
Slept in hate
All I regret


Fear it challenges my soul
Count the fingers
See my toes


Never a silence
Never a sound
Bombs of
Keep
Coming
Round


Platitude pays its dues
You are the victim
In classed hues


Father anthem vineyard
Sword upon the wall
Campfires
Call
Lord call


Heads hung from belts
Resemble a tree
One for you
Mine still is free


Climb wisdom
Stop the brawl
Hell waits
Not at all


Blood of my fathers
Screams out in pain
Name the water
Claim the vain


Ripple stops
As the wave claims
Never truth
Never fame


Devil and demon
Dance in glee
On the black of night
In the blood of sea


Graves are turning
Wind and rain sweep
Sleep my hero
Precious soul to keep


Once I was lover
Once I was a man
Once I fought
An enemy

Now I wonder
Which Roman
Am I friend?

I once thought that good poetry could not be rendered in sparse phrases; I was wrong, of course. And this is a great example of my past ignorance. Excellent poem!
