RANDOM

A Poem by Marc Marlon Villaflor

 

 

 

The Great War accelerates the serpent’s falls

Causing destructions of all empires walls

The serpent incites war and the majestic invasion.

The snakes pierce the bastion of aeon

The desert eagles unified with the serpents

Infusing blood along the whole continents

The eagles build the realm of greatness

Protecting the trade and exploiting the wilderness

The crescent moon watching the eagle’s kingdom to fall

The twin merchant brothers has collapse before autumn’s roll

The clusters of eastern stars granted the downfall

The eagle fought back with no reflection

Destroyed the pillar of stars and brought retribution

Queen Sheba's firstborn killed and his soul derelict in the ocean

His heroism celebrated by most of the crescent man.

The eastern cosmos  have thousands, thousands of newly born stars.

But the eagles in the west have never been defeated as his kingdom is advancing to mars.

The defiance of the East and the authority of the West will cycle the thirst of blood

Behold the power of the new born dragon echoes in his lunatic clad

The eagles change his direction to the Pacific cluster of stars.

He kept an eye to the dragon's proxy as he might goad for a war.

The eagles might be strong, but the stars, the moon, the dragon is imminent threat

The eagles still fly, watching, he might fall, but he will not retreat.

The dragon- North Korea? I do think the symbolism here was excellent. I'm working on one about "the eagle" myself. In fact I'm concerned that if the Eagle doesn't learn to fly in a flock the scattered stars will win under his majestic watch, against the odds. As far as this however, I loved it and it made a lot of sense. Great write!

Thanks Bro, I appreciate your kind thoughts.
I understand the foreboding of this poem, but I wish you had made the narrative metaphor more of a poetic fable rather than try to create a new mythology. For me, the format is clumsy. I would much rather, despite your grammatical limitation, you had avoided trying to rhyme the piece, and concentrated on a coherent story-stream.

Interesting take on the conflict we are seeing on the news ~ i may not see the country your pointing out but i may have an idea in mind ~ the thing is the solution they seek never ends well ~ this piece tackles the long long agenda of war in the past as well as in the present times ~ that ends up in bloodshed and destruction in its way....

a profound work kabayan!

it's a pleasure kabayan...
I felt many, many political jabs in this, which i have to say, I commend you on. It was a really nice idea using the animals here to talk about specific countries.
R.I.P. the twin merchant brothers, not many things can make the eagle shed a tear.
And as for the eagle's fall... maybe one day, but not today.

Thanks Sir Leslie :) I appreciate your kind words.
I'm not all that well versed on all the symbols but I know enough to understand a lot more than I expected. Who pray tell is the lunatic northern clad? An amazing write. Thank you.

Cryptic. It reads like mythology - or a riddle - if only the reader unlocks the meaning then....writers write with clarity and transparency and also writers write in code. this was an interesting read.
