Riders Of No Mercy

by Lady Vengeance   Nov 11, 2005


Soldiers on the oceans waves
Horses with white main
Riders dressed in cruelest black
We're flowers to be slain

Droplets of the darkest red
Form in the clouds of grey
Brooding for a war of worlds
Where it was always day

Innocent as we may be
They come to fight with valour
In this pure and coloured world
On us the blood will shower

Take a stand against our ways
Battle brings no peace
Even when there's none to fight
The killing doesn't cease

I will not cut open their chests
Then drive my sword in deeper
Continuing along the line
Just like the cold Grim Reaper

Cut us down and pile us up
In fire our souls die
Rising up with bloodstained smoke
Into the darkened sky

What have you gained by massacre
Of our fragile race?
Like the joker of the pack
We still laugh in your face.

    "Horses with white main" = "Mane"

    But the rest of the poem was (as i've said before) Excellent!
    You have such a knack of creating a rhythm that allows the poem to flow like water
    Kudos m'dear, you have amazing talent!
    5/5

    Brilliant poem, very powerful.

    i do think, however, that the 5th stanza let it down slightly, but that is just my opinion.

    overall a great poem
