>If You Only Knew
>By Velociraptor
>Dedicated to my mother and father, and every other
>adult out there who just doesn't understand...
>
>If you only knew how many people cried
>The day the noble warrior died,
>Would you still say what you do today,
>Or would you have a tear to wipe away?
>
>If you only knew what a brave stand he made,
>Fighting for the future, coming to our aid,
>Do you feel you would silently weep,
>While still cheering him on in your heart deep?
>
>If you only saw him there, laying on the jungle floor,
>After he fell, after he gave his final roar,
>I think that you too would stop and stare,
>And after a moment you too would start to sob, then
>wail.
>
>If you only knew the great warrior’s sacrifice,
>And his last words spoken in that valley paradise,
>Tears of joy and sorrow would fill you eyes,
>Running down your face of stunned surprise.
>
>If you only knew how the funeral looked in the soft
>rays of twilight,
>With the sun setting behind, shadows stretching on
>into the night,
>
>(NB: The above poem I finished off the computer. After
>what seems like an eon of emotional lassitude, my mind
>is numb and I can't remember the ending I chose. I'll
>sort through my papers to see if I can find it...)
>
>Dinobot's Death
>
>The wind caresses his back,
>As he stands and faces his destiny.
>His fate has been thrust upon him,
>In ways one cannot imagine.
>The question that once haunted his being,
>To be or not to be,
>Has been answered: yes,
>He can change his future,
>As well as the futures of others,
>But at what cost?
>Yes, he has a choice,
>Yet how ironic he has none.
>
>Thus he stands and faces his destiny
>With courage and honor and nobility
>Prepared to fight for what is right,
>Prepared to give his life for what seems bright.
>
>The sun sets, there’s blood in the sky,
>The fight begins, there’s blood in his eye.
>Evil has descended onto the valley paradise,
>Destroying all the peaceful inhabitants in their wake.
>“I am a warrior, let the better be joined,”
>
>(NB: The above I wrote over two years ago [has it
>really been that long?] in my biology class durring a
>very boring slide show. As soon as my burden of school
>work and other responsiblities let up, I'll look into
>polishing and finishing it if anyone likes it.)
>
>A dark cloud has appeared in the sky
>Casting long shadows of grief across the land,
>As now we begin to sob and cry,
>Emotions sinking us down like quicksand.
>
>We shall weep all day,
>For you, for your family, for you friends.
>Your memory will never fade away,
>It shall last even after time ends.
>
>Words cannot describe how we felt about you,
>Nor can they describe how we’ll now feeling,
>As we try to struggle on, stumbling through
>This time of despair, as the world is reeling.
>
>Though we continue to grieve on,
>Your flame is now in heaven burning brightly,
>So now we will be strong,
>As we cling to your memory tightly.
>
>Please, lord, rest her beautiful soul,
>And give us the strength and courage needed,
>To never let her memory go,
>And for us to go on unheeded.
