The Battle
Matthew T. Strouse
In the thick of the battle
in the heat of the night
we came face to face
and started to fight
I still remember it all
the look in his eyes
we were locked in a stance
yelling our battle cries
A duel to the death
this we both knew
determined to win
we'd do what we had to do
I made the first move
Slash, Perry, and Thrust
I have to gain this kill
live through this I must!
Perry, Slash, Perry
as anopening came to pass
one final deadly Thrust
the killing blow at last
Too late to turn back time
he knew what he did wrong
it was fatal but not instant
my enemy will not live long
I stayed and payed my respects
yes, I was there when he died
we shouldn't have fought that way
we should've both been on the same side
We both believed and fought
for a cause that was right
and so our paths met
on that dark and deadly night
Now, certian forces will never move
forever frozen in time
in the fields of Vietnam
we all committed a crime

"Wow, you were a Vetran in the ARMY? Me, I was only a veteran and the regular old army...you must have been good to have had the E omitted and your corps capitalized. Oh...maybe I should read the story. A real review shall be up in a minute." -- Tyrant.
"Upon reading, it occurs to me that you strained yourself and forced in every rhyme you could. Of course, I'll assume you were sick and delusional in the service, malaria or some such other third world disease fogging your brain, as you misspelled Parry a number of times and overall spewed out a forgetable poem chock full of craptacularness." -- Tyrant.
