Hatred by Ben heine - Cartoons

THE GLORY MEADOW

The warrior tilted her face
In the groan of fine bravery;
A ferocious battle well fought
Leaving such empty pleasure.

There were no such dignities.
Rain slanted its gleaming lances
Upon the backscattered skies
In refractions glory meadow.

Reflecting upon the dulled luster
The warrior’s fingers grew damp
And, in apprehensive assembling,
Did discharge her bludgeoning.

O! Divine glory! Phenomenon!
Transport their gaze to wonder’s face!
Call out to them! Reaffirm “peace”!
Shift them nearer to beauty's grace!

Upon the backscattered sky we lean.
Of the bludgeoned warrior we howl.
Upon the divinity we beseech,
“Bring their spirits home!”
