[hometext] => Are you in the battle?
[bodytext] => I hear the explosions all around me I wonder if i will make it I see fellow soldiers drop to their knees as the flaming arrows pierce them A friend got pierced by the arrow of anger she shouted and she cursed and forgot who she was A voice within me said to go pull out the arrow I doubted and wondered if I could I see the buildings crumble around the city a sharp and acute pain stings inside of me a sword of fear thrust into my tender heart I hope someone will pull it out of me I stagger to my sister pulling out the arrow I parry attacks of pride with my trusty shield I pick my sister up and tell her to have courage I look around and see the battle around me Agony from selfishness people drowning in their lust and in their greed Agony driven by fear "Is there anybody out there who cares about me" I strike an arrow that is heading toward my brother it is the arrow of death and loneliness I parry the sword that says "I'll say tomorrow the things that I should say that show the battles near" The sirens sweep down beating wings of blackened blood carrying arrows that kill off joy and love They laugh and cackle that there are so very few to drive them off back to the place that they come from Help me they cry help me crying out in pain from the arrows that pierce them Help me they cry help me Is there someone out there listening The sky is blackened with the beating wings of sirens their voices drawing everyone unto his death The arrows pierce the heart and trap us in our sorrow or pierce us with pride so that we will not care If you think that you are someone then you must be careful You started out as nothing and that is what saved you If you think that you learned something do not keep it inside you for you can help someone who is trapped in suffering [comments] => 6 [counter] => 217 [topic] => 62 [informant] => Archie [notes] => (Edited for typos by Mod_11) [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 32 [ratings] => 7 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => spiritual )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
