[hometext] => Written for those who have died at war (particulalry during the Crusades), dedicated to anyone who has ever asked.. 'How can War make Peace?'
[bodytext] => Blessed Be Blessed be the stars so bright That shine upon this holy night Through armour gleams so incomplete And lays the wounded down to sleep Blessed the blood-matted hair The martyrdom for maiden fair And many fall to save her face All in wonder, love and grace Come hither stare, the grass she dies Hark! Silence for our hero's cries! The knives are drawn and lives erased Blessed be the lives He saves! Blessed, the kingdom awaits No home for failures at the gates The champion deaths, the knights so gold Shall never see the night grow old Blessed be the battlefield Wounds on wounded, never healed The helmets useless, slung to ground Our hero's faces never found Blessed maiden weeps for love Weeps for lost to the Above Cries for something purely gore This is horror; This is War Blessed be the stars that shine On those who b'lieve this be sublime The foolhardy who ready take Alas! Death is for the peace's sake! Blessed fate of the strongest men Who shall never wake again The battlefield their deathbeds sheets As we lay them down to sleep [ Make Love, Not War ] [comments] => 2 [counter] => 187 [topic] => 57 [informant] => vermilion [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => war )

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. ©
