[hometext] => nothing special really i have been meaning to write a poem like this for a while
[bodytext] => Empires Let the kingdoms burn, Let the flames rise Let the kings and the gods behold An Incandescent inferno of a tangerine sky On this eve they let there be a glorious cry Kingdoms of man have risen & fallen In the restless dust of histories pages Empires forged from the blood and blades Forged from iron will and stoic bravery Drink deep from your blood drunk spirit Fill the chalice of you hatred with your enemies fear Let their heads roll and there blood spill Let the ground give way to a river of crimson Their souls pouring from their empty bodies Slick across the blades and bodies of both ally and enemy And let the sun rise upon a wasteland Bathed in the putrid stench of battle and death Baptized in the blood of the fallen Broken weapons making gravestones for them Then creep slowly home into the arms of loved ones And tell not of your glory or of your shame To the ears of ardent children Who too search for some desperate glory [comments] => 2 [counter] => 203 [topic] => 57 [informant] => Immortal-Dragon21 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => war )
