In a time of pure chaos,
Let us remember our past-times,
As they unfold.
A fate that we all have to share,
Sometimes we all want to explode,
Possibly to reverse the pressure.
The c word is a nasty word.
It portrays an ignorance of a woman,
Set beyond her prime,
Her Optimus Prime.
When will we imagine what is lost.
The blood red fields of another life,
Anticipating the greed and sentiment,
Of boys and girls growing up without guidance.
The trenches of our society are dwindling,
Maybe next time we should open our eyes,
To a military barrage.

Note: I have been experimenting with the poems I have created for this challenge, and I have a conundrum: one limerick and two haikus (what should I submit?). There is very little chance that I will win this one, so I am going to share all three with you here.

The Road to Nowhere
Trigger warnings: Violence, Death. "May the Sun burn your tongue out, woman," Fredrick's father screamed the curse into his mother's ear as their elegant little carriage rumbled along, its polished wood and gilded trim glinting in the torchlight. They had just left the small village of Saffron and were on an unnamed road to the capital for the Royal wedding. Fredrick leaned back in his plush velvet seat to escape into the passing landscape, but across from him sat the servant boy, a scrappy lad named Jack. Jack's eyes held a mixture of awe and fear, the kind that only a commoner could feel in the presence of nobility. Jack looked up and caught Fredrick's gaze, offering him a sad little smile before reaching into his pocket and retrieving a little caramel treat. This candy was no doubt stolen from the kitchen treat cupboard; if he was caught with it, he would be locked in the box as punishment.
