    Internal Civil War

    On the battlefield of my mind,
    The soldiers move in,
    To overcome insanity,
    It’s time for the battle to begin.

    There are two forces fighting this war,
    Choose your side,
    And what you’re fighting for.
    Armed with ambition,
    To the enemy, I petition,
    Surrender or be destroyed.
    My soldiers are evenly deployed,
    Throughout the battlefield of my mind.

    The soldiers fall in line,
    To salute General Know-It-All.
    A gold mine,
    Of intelligence wasted on this brawl.
    “As you were!” He proclaims,
    In this wasteland of burning flames.
    This Internal Civil War,
    In my head,
    Shut the door,
    On all the dead,
    Forgotten soldiers laid to rest,
    The battle won by the best.

    Internal hell....times seems would be easier to give in to it...but somehow the ability to hold strong comes through...I really Like this!

    OOH I Like this one. It is a n open examination of the ongoing struggle for good and evil that exists in everything.

    Thank you copergirl...I'm glad you like it...

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
