The Hornet's Nest

By Tyre

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

My heart is heavy, sinking deeply away As the world seems distant in its display Of actions taken from an explosive affair Wondering how far they are willing to dare Grave images fill a darkened sky with dread Grieving over the lives of thousands now dead Whose many worlds must now suffer great loss Being destroyed by the madness they cross Where is this enemy we must now face Whose cowardly voice hides, hoping not to trace For fear that we may crush their boastful stand And crumble into dust, their host's noble land Come now brave leaders, where is your bold speech What splended lessons do you dare to teach You have our attention, now make it known Or slither under a rock until your cover is blown Fear was intended through the terror you laid Sorry to disappoint you, are you now dismayed For anger is the might that will lay you to rest Open your eyes, you have stirred the hornet's nest Written September 15th, 2001 © on Sep 14 2001 05:58 PM PST   0 • 1
