backlash

by FireFly - Libra

The trove…on the tale end of the soldier’s dream-
Carried torn flags for each fiefdom-
There lies an empty truth, but garnered support for a redundant mantra-
Martyrs for every blood spilled-

Pure intention wallowing in frustration-
Tested and teased, non reprieved from duty-
Angst is the nature of young men-
For whom all the armies belong too-

Surge of lost vision-
An array of doubt encircles the soldiers-
The once wise piece of sanctity-
The something they once believed in-
Now is overturned and becomes thier mutiny-

Anger-
The general’s…one button away on their REMOTE CONTROL-
Is raising fear with in the ranks-
A coup d’e tat, allegiance’s backlash-
Is ripe and ready to be exercised-

“What better time then now”-
“What better place then here”-
