The Winter Of Wars

A poem about good soldiers

War is coming, a harsh winter on the way
Soldiers training, never learning to pray
Fall on your knees or shout it at the sky
Matters not how to do it just that you try
Every beating heart must make a choice
To rise up or to lose their voice
Use their wings to take flight
Or let their conscience feel the night
Pretend won’t allow this to ebb away…
