white flag for a black heart.

toy soldiers fight through war
each without a movement made
all the while imagined scenes
give hope of life for the inanimate.

plastic warriors making rounds
each movement controlled and repeated
till motors wear and power fades
this army won't be defeated.

digital characters waging battle
for the watchful eye and the eager heart
a story unfolds with a familiar progression
and ends with love for a hero.

the youthful train for main events
where masses form for watching
each move is deemed with eloquence
though made in just a moment

a workforce team assembling
each waning through existence
all looking for a day of rest
but find none but resistance.

both kingdoms from another world
fight causes etched in scripture
foretold of old a grace that frees
the cuff that binds the wicked.

those men caught in the crossfire
of both good and of evil
search pleasure and a peace
that can't be had but found in heaven.
