I Gathered Stones And Pebbles

in

I gathered stones and pebbles

For a fortress to build,

Bulwark against the evils of this world.

Having fought them for so long

I am weary, fearing that I have no fight left in me.

My swords I’ve dulled, sharpened and dulled again

Beating back the cruelty and injustices of man

Only to have them retake territory.

This has been the history of our species;

Seek, conquer and destroy our lasting legacy.

So cocooned in my citadel I shall wait,

Quietly, patiently, until the day of reckoning,

Praying for this succession to end.

    I hear you Dom! It’s about the only thing we can do, wait and hope.

      Thanks Shelby though I suppose that hope would be better served by action, it’s just difficult to know exactly what that action should be.

      I think that there may be many of us so I’m going to build my fortress a little bigger…everyone is welcome. :)
