Cry Havok

submitted by prototype to poetry 3 monthsJan 29, 2025 03:17:31 ago (+5/-1)     (poetry)

stir ECHO! a rioteous VOICE of spirit
upwelling in the contest of red hot life
not remembered but a round in the great melee
of all comers, the rush of joy and calamity
the industry of dust and wild becomings
the crucible of men and greater things.

earnest for the blood
all blood, any blood
their own and of the others
no matter, the fist decides whos king
and all are brothers who shout, who sing

all are brothers
in this ring.

Was that king Lear?

Don't think so. All I remember is it was shouted by mark antony in one of Shakespeare's plays.

Panic said it was Julius Caesar.

Thank you for the reference martin! I think I've forgot more than I know.

I'm aware havoc is misspelled as well. It's intentional. I just preferred the look of the hard K.
