Pieces of Me: an epic war between the Jocks and the Rats

For a hill men would kill, why? they do not know
Suffered wounds test their pride
Men of five¹, still alive through the raging glow
Gone insane from the pain that they surely know

Metallica - For Whom the Bell Tolls

( In honor of Veteran's Day, a war epic of a war that, well... it would probably be a happier world if all wars ended this way )

Stranger now, are his eyes, to this mystery
He hears the silence so loud
Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be
Now they will see what will be, blinded eyes to see

Metallica - For Whom the Bell Tolls

Temporary Edit:
¹ - "Men of five" - I distrust this, and noticed it when I looked back after having another error in the lyrics pointed out to me; I believe it should be "Men of fire", but what do I know, I've only been playing the guitar parts for umpteen years now. I will verify when I get home tonight.

In other news...

... tonight is the monthly poetry circle at the oldest continuously running bookseller in the world, the Moravian Book Shop, so if you're in the Lehigh Valley area, stop by, read and/or listen to poetry, and say hi!

7:00-8:00pm - 428 Main Street

I actually haven't written anything new, so I'll be mining through my unread collection, and maybe rooting through for a couple of Veterans Day-related pieces.
