Patriot Dreams

Standing on the precipice of

           Willful measure,

Far removed from

Rambling reality

He holds his breath… and waits

In watchful vigilance.

Prepared to give,

           To live…

                      To die

If die he must to keep them safe.

He never stops to question why.

The why was answered long before

His watchful eyes reflected on             

The distant haze of far horizons.

 

Lessons from the bowels of Hell have

Been his teacher,

Taught him well,

Filled his nights with restless dreams of

Secrets he can never tell.

Failure? Unacceptable.

A traitor’s wage is paid in blood.

The patriot will never sleep

Til others stand where he has stood.
