A walk down the memory lane


I took a walk at yester dawn
into the world of warriors bygone
The world where might was right
Differences settled in a battle or fight

The world of lovers asunder torn
A death at battle, honor to adorn
Tales of valor from the sad lovelorn
Sung aloud to children unborn

Walked back calmly to present life
Calm and seemingly devoid of strife
Anger calmed and faces serene
Fights too rare, battles unseen

       Noticed the bubbling unrest within
       Hearts screaming, patience growing thin
       Coil strung, volcano waiting to erupt
       Against the unjust and the world corrupt

I am not sure how long the truce can hold
When the dams shall break and the coils unfold
I agonize about the impending flare
Inferno of ire, the moment of despair
