Last Stand

Last Stand

Waiting
for the sparking breeze,
the signal to descend.
Desperate to complete the cycle,
one life at a time.
Our existence's sole purpose
demands our demise;
So be it.

The signal comes through,
we are ordered to our death.
The rush of air,
the stillness of time
reassure my anticipation.

Steadily
charging down to earth.
Greedily
descending upon the enemy.
Slowly
stretching my morality.
Quickly 
dying from the inside out.

You are old for your age, and well spoken. And a very good poet.

Nicely written, and well thought out. It paints a mental portrait for the reader.

Very well done young poet! I really like this - you should be proud!

Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.

Plato (BC 427-BC 347) Greek philosopher.
