Invasion
2004-02-23, 6:22 AM #1
Whilst sharpened dust and sand can scold my eyes
Only the lies and guesses pierce my skin
Undying planes of white land hide my prize
Long sun-whipped days of searching now grow thin
Do not discard the mission as a loss
You have not seen the final hours of war
Of course each crippling battle spans across
Unspoken voids of darkness evermore
Surveillance tools won't find what I must hear
Armies should not invade without due care
Yet I march blindly into what I fear
Yield nothing but myself on one soft air
Each soldier trains for years to hold his place
So am I rushing all just for disgrace?

A free cookie for the first one to tell me what this poem is about.

...

Come on now, either make it perfectly obvious what you're talking about, or be a little more subtle with the allusion..don't beat around the bush.
A desperate disease requires a dangerous remedy.

A major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that it gives people what they want instead of what a particular group thinks they ought to want. Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.

Oh good old sine, making my words sound dodgy. Yes, I may have to rephrase that part to make it sound less... well... suggestive.
