Subject: Waging A War Author: Alauna Salinas [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 04:21:22 04/12/02 Fri Battered and bruised I continue to wage war With an enemy of unknown origin To regain that which was lost At some point, I’ve lost command No longer in charge I try to regain what power I had And find it difficult at best It slips through my fingers As though it doesn’t know me Regarding me as a passerby As a common soldier and not a general Battered and bruised I challenge the misconceptions Laid before me, daunting Of who I am and what I embody Passionately... I hold my ground And await reinforcements Surrounded by the enemy Realizing it is me who must make the stand Alone and without aide To take back that which is mine I force the hand of the enemy My rallying cry of, “who do you think you are” Wins the first hit... The enemy is taken aback And wonders at my audacity Battered and bruised I realize I’ve scored a point And straighten my spine a bit I aim once more for the target The enemy shouts back, “You are nobody, you have no power” But it is too late I have found it The power was within me all along There for the taking Though I never truly bothered before this I hold it in my hands, it is my weapon It belongs to me and no one else No one can take it from me What they take is false What I hold is true [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
