Hearken my dear child soldier
Thro the burning bush you shall step
To hear my words not yet seen
To hear my voice not yet heard

You are all but alone in Gaia’s damnation
And you are not damned to hang on a tree
Though the sky closes all light
And the rains, they fall harder like stones

A burning bush is inside you
For you are all invisible to me
For children are just bred slaves
And vile soldiers to do my work

So slaughter the unfound enemy
Undo the Cardinal Sin
For violence is a Holy Ally
And the weak fleshes be the sustenance

Hearken all children on Gaia
Gather in your bruised masses
Yet you are all but seen
As the world, it does not care

Welcome to your hellish heaven
This Gaia that we nurture so
My dear children, you are the fodder
That feeds the hungered, brutal masses

Take the step forward and load your holy weapons
Step towards the hand-forged mirror
Stare the enemy straight in the eye
And unleash all wrath, my child soldier

I'm guessing Gaia is referring to earth? The only thing I would change is the last line,
"and unleash all wrath,
my children soldiers"
good, not great

[Wolvercote]

It's supposed ot be thro'. I tried to do a sort of Shakespeare thing with it.

Verrry interesting. In the second line, is 'thro' supposed to be 'throw' or 'through' though? Definitely shows potential, though; maybe you should try some more poetry!

This is good. It has meaning not just rambling nonsense.

[Wolvercote]

This poem is based off the Invisible Children.
