For all beneath the sky by ~Sard2:iconSard2:





“We will drive
The great machine of war
Until war itself can be no more
When we hold all beneath the sky
Or in attempt boldly die”

So said the king
And sounded a call
For his men to win or fall
In the name of lord and land
With arms in hand

Men by their thousands
Thus in uniform
For a world not yet born
Ready to fight and die
For all land beneath the sky

Under the boot came
Land after land
They were claimed by the hand
That sought all to unite
All odds in spite

Epic war ensured
Thousands died
From either side
The resisting
And the aggressing

Ravens feasted
The wolves grew fat
And people called the king mad
Yet they did not see
That now the enemy turned to flee

For all beneath the sky
Was united to a single land
Ruled by one hand
No longer fought was war
And peace reigned forevermore

If any of you have seen that Chinese movie called "Hero" then this poem might make more sense to you than if not. Regardless it is a poem about the conquest of "all beneath the sky" and the results such a conquest would yeild.
