New Poem "The Art of War"

The Art of War
by: Matthew Wayne

It is the art of war,
forgotten is what this fight is for
pale faces and decaying bodies
death and a bitter taste of disease
a lost soldier, a voice of a lost soul
where a broken man was tortured slow
family slain, an eternity of pain.

The siege marches on, even if murder is wrong
It has become the art of war, A blood feud began decades before.
The bombs dropping, the violence never stopping
blood stains the hands of those who sin,
a religious icon in which to pray, hoping to win.

Slaves are those who chose to submit,
who does not stand when told to sit
blindly following, who dares not to question
in a society where ignorance is an odd obsession
denials and lies, with deception morality dies.

Yin and Yang, with another big bang
good and bad, within us all and under our command
when conflict knocks at the door,
there will always be the cruelty of war.

Just An Update

Since I am still stuck to using my old laptop (my harddrive failed on my desktop) my writing and updating has been a bit slowed. However the time it's given me to think on my future endevours has given me plenty of ideas. First I have been working on secureing a webpage, one place where my readers can go to get updates, blogposts. Everything and everything I would write about. Will also have links set up to where they can purchase my books.

I have finally decided the direction inwhich I want to go in with my Fantasy book "The Legacy of Sky". It will be my first fictional published book, and those who order a copy of it and have read the chapters online will first notice a difference in the context and the flow. I have decided to leave the digital/online version the way it is, however the paper bound version will be re-edited as well as things added to it. The first major change of course will be the title, the digital/online version is known as "The Legacy of Sky : The Fallen Angel Saga" while the paper bound version will be titled "Legacy of Sky : The Two Brothers"

Since I have been working on two books at the same time I've decided not to rush myself and push back the release date to at least the end of the year for the Fantasy book, and around the first of the year for my anthology.

On an ending note, I want to wish everyone happy holidays and to be safe out there.
