The armies are gone
The battle’s been won
and a single red rose
stretches for the sun.

Soon it is joined
By hundreds more
These strange flowers only
sprout at deaths door.

Their stems are jet black,
Their petals are blood red
These roses rise on the spot
where a soldier lies dead

The bodies on the ground
Are of those who did not survive
Their blood leaks into the soil
The soil in which these flowers thrive

The purpose of the rose is simple
It binds together, it ties
The memory of the field, the living
And those who did not survive.

I think I'll stick with this one:
"Love is measured by how dedicated you are."
It's been a personal quote of mine for over a year now, and I still believe that it holds true.

Love, friendship, and blood bonds are some of the strongest ties in the world... but how do you measure it?

Dedication.

Whether it be staying faithful to a deployed spouse, or never forgetting a promise that you made to a friend. Quitting a job to take care of your parents in their old age... whatever it might be, complete dedication is only present when there is a strong bond... and if there is no love in a household, there is no dedication.
Amazing, inspiring, truthful, (I could think of many more adjectives) writing from a kind person.
"The individuals to whom I portray most concern to, are to those whom I beg to bring them to justice."

I kind of made it up on the spot, and I've been thinking about it lately, about how I actually show a stronger concern to those who have wronged me, and as well treating me badly, and I've come to the realization that it would be because I hope for their karma or whatnot.
I guess that's when the phrase "Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer" comes in. :p
Pure talent!

I had trouble replying to you 2!
Lively, Beautiful, a magnificent piece.
M3rsh, 2 brilliant quotes!



A piece of my own-
In the midst of ruins
In the face of war
The sun still rises
The moon still sets
People still die
People will live
An evening passes
Unto a starry black night
Building are constructed
Monuments bombed
The circle of life
Never ending
Always
Changing

Is a hero called a hero because that person goes around flying with a cape saving people? No. A hero is because of the work they've done. ~~~~

"When in the wake of danger, never lose sight of what's right."

This could mean many things such as: when in danger do the right thing.

You can probably guess.

"When in a deathmatch, and your in the worse stuff. Don't team"

Spot the metaphor.
