POEM TITLE: Weep for the Republic
POET: eminariiorta

This is my first poem EVER, please read and review.

The fires burn bright
if they did not signal the end of my world
I would warm myself by their glow
Sometimes during the quiet of night
I go to my palace of one window
and listen
in the distance I hear the screams of the wounded
and the cries of those who have already lost someone
When I hear these things I think of what I could have done differently
and for a moment I escape the hell I have caused for my world
For Centauri Prime I weep
for I am eternally sorry
