A Piece of the Union Jack

By Benj

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

An eagle soars in silence  above the purple legion  behind the raging fire  along the river black,Torn amongst the violence  rage around the region  Her soul's a waiting pyre  Her heart's tied to the track,Searching for sweet alliance  the under-fed collegian  wading in the murky mire  no time for turning back,An endless realm of compliance  a raising siege done  desperate turned to dire  a broken piece of the Union Jack.
