Speaker for the Dead

by Poneh and Pony

A poem written from Ender's point of view on his way to the new colony he's sent to govern. Please read and review.

Pony: I was bored in science and wrote this. I do not own Ender/Andrew/Speaker for the Dead. If I did, would I be writing this here? xD

Speaker for the Dead

I cry my silent tears

Unheeded and unheard

In the dark of night I cry out

For those who have no words

In my heart I know them

For my soul is their own

And all the worlds I hold so dear

Are those they once called home

Til one day I no longer hold it in

The story that must be known

I start my heavy task

Of penning their new home

For one soul can never be enough

To hold a people's life

To contain all their happiness

Their sorrow and their strife

So with my mighty pen I tell

A story; old and new

A song of hatred and of woe

A story we all must know

And in the song a life is born

Old as time yet new as snow

For it tells of life long dead

Yet lived not long ago
