mind the spelling...though ive been writing for more than a decade, i never improved my spelling....anywho, just some random thing i wrote about 3 or 4 years ago...

myth of the endless pax

the wish of the nation
lies in our hands.
over and over we count the dead.
the rise of the nation
requires our inhalation;
with honor,
just for the land of the enemy's destruction;
to promise absolution!
we'll see her,
we'll see them,
all of our blood,
we count the hours till we'll see them again;
too dumb to realize
that to see them is a myth!
we kill and we kill,
like we kill them bugs;
we see them, we kill them,
over and over,
yet they never learned how to die!
we kill because we kill,
like there is no peace (tomorrow).
we fail to realize
that there is no sun to smile upon us!
we kill and kill
till we kill no more.
our name is glorious,
yet we should be in jail!
we are tired of being our nation's hero.
we want our blood to be proud,
yet these letters and medals
fail to impress.
we are tired of being the hero,
for our hands have the power to leave
Neptune red!
we are the forgotten,
who's sorrow is the nations happiness!
hours to sevens to months to dozens
to see our loved ones, we count in vain!
and to think our nation wants us dead;
just so it can sleep at night.
what's so fun about us being scared
or how every flower and rain drop makes us cry?
we want to go home and make love;
spread our blood, not spill!
our king speaks of this never ending pax!
it just makes us want to cry;
for the nation will dance with out us!
(the nation will dance, while we would sleep forever)
what's in it for us?
we are here for our selfish nation!
why cant they see
we cry in vain?
for this will shadow its self!
what so fun about this never ending pax?
this power and power, the endless desire!
why cant we live in peace loving harmony?
let the enemy sing us to sleep.
for what's so fun about a never ending pax?
this is not our war!
we are apathetic to our king being insulted!



*NOTE: for those who don't know, 'pax' is a latin tern which means peace and prosperity and even the peak of a civilization. Forexample, the greeks had their pax during Alexander the great s rule.

My favorite line was -spread our blood, not spill!

Maybe breaking it up a little would make it scan better. The repetitions seemed to make it drag to me. Maybe I'm just into it enough to really appreciate it.
