The Anniversary – 2005?
July 24, 2008
Wow. So 3 years ago what was i doing? I was in a band called Before the Fall. I loved Coheed and Cambria. And that was the last time i remember where i tried to write creatively. These next few posts will be some old things i tried to write.
the anniversary
by chris avila
we march til nightfall
in rain soaked boots
muddy fields awashed with tears
and precious sleep is a rare commodity
only those with no regrets have the right to harvest
and fathers fight for the children
who sleep soundly in their beds
indifferent to the blood spilled
on battlefields they’ll never see
to them its just history
Days like these
are marked with anniversaries
we replace those that are fallen
those unfit to heed the calling
through bruised cheeks and battered lips
gracious words flow from our ruined tongues
they resound with pride
when we find apathy is our greatest enemy
this one is for all, we’ll fall
