POEM TITLE: Legionnaire
POET: eminariiorta
POEM:
Why should a war be fought?
This is a question asked by everyone
on the eve of plunging themselves into a conflict.
On my world this question has been asked for millennia
On other's worlds the same question is asked.
It is a universal conundrum
pondered for hours by the greatest philosophers and poets of these worlds.
For me, for us
we fight, we war
because there is no other choice.
We fight for the continuation
of our very existence.
For when the darkness finally does decide to engulf us
we must be ready
we must stand by the starlight
and we must prevail
For if we do not
nothingness.
