Descent Poem by James Timothy Jarrett

Descent

Rating: 5.0


Descent

We slide slowly
into war

We travel down the slope
Pulled by gravity

The friction lubricated
by intolerable acts

We are polarized, separated
no longer one people

It is now us against them
they against us

No longer brothers
No longer kindred
No longer fellow citizens

We call for blood
They call for blood

We arm for war
We join militias and train

We prepare to leave
All we love behind

We march towards what
We really don't want

Towards death and destruction

We are bound, us and them though,
By fate, to destroy what we love

For belief

I don't believe that it can
Stop now

It is started

It's momentum is gathering
and soon it will be a Juggernaut

We have resolve both us and them
And we cannot stop now

Slowly we descend
