Overwhelming
Shadows of war
Destiny speaks
Coming ashore
Future’s darkness
All light erased
Freedom removed
Feeling misplaced
Opposition
All dissent crushed
Outlook grows dim
Speaking now hushed
Heartache cries out
Resistance fades
Hope extinguished
Hiding afraid
Tomorrow’s breath
Empty of pulse
War carries on
Grinding impulse

Writer’s Note: I’ve been watching the History Channel’s documentary on World War II, hosted by Tom Hanks. The images seen inspired the writing of this poem.
