Fighting In A New War Poem by Britney Hogue

Fighting In A New War

Rating: 5.0


I walk across this thinning line of life
Overstep it and it’s unto the black abyss
The fury of what the world has finally become
With no one caring what tomorrow brings
Or even caring what becomes of all love
I see the red, glowing flames below me
As I sit on the small cloud of my sanity
One of the limited who saw this coming
Or wasn’t so convinced by the devils lies

Why does no one else see this happening?
The devil overtaking Gods beautiful land
Why do they all listen to these condemning lies?
Guaranteeing the grand and perfect tomorrow
Why do they become so inevitably blinded?
Nothing ever could be that perfect or great
We are only imperfect humans after all
What fun would there be in a perfect world
No challenges to push us to be all we can

I see below the suffering of every individual
As they burn alive in the fuel of there own sins
Armageddon’s dooms day must be so soon
Would god let the suffering continue like this?
Or is it already begun, and I am here to fight
Fight in God’s army against the devils flame
Fight against everything seeking to destroy
If this is so I’m ready for the looming war
God give me the strength I need to survive this

Now this is mighty impressive and I am mighty impressed as a result. I thought you wrote this in a very mature manner. It was delightful to read and I couldn't wait to hear your answer to this problem. Just wonderful! GW62
