Two Days

Marching down into the dawn of red,
Spies running ahead to uncover the nests.

The colors of the nation hanging by the rope

Would eight hundred suffice to resist the test?


Soon enough the vulture's eye

would be stabbed with a sword and ripped from within.

But whose vulture will be throttled first?

The common man or the relentless king?

An uprising not too late in time

rising from an exploited mime,

Where the shovel is silent and the daggers scream,

The time had come to recover the dreams.


The dogs start howling at the very sight

frantic in anticipation of the impending fight.
The children all crouch hiding in the dark,

Sheltering their lives to be torn apart.


The last gaze of the moon falters and hides.
The stars whimper away with the night.


As the ground shakes with sheer strength of force,

As the men keep shouting themselves hoarse.

As the sun blinks its weary eye,

As the jackals shriek and cower in fright.

As the fires burn in raging silence,

As the swords glint with a hint of violence.
As the hope clashes with the fearsome past,

As the fist rises in a struggling mass.


The next two days will determine their fate

Stories untold will lay to waste.

History will only unfold the face

of the sunshine that might arrive just too late.
