we forgot we were in a battle so
instead of fighting against the advances
of the enemy
we cowered the corner
forgetting we were cowering
settling for complacency
all the while
the battle rages for that which
outlasts this generation this
technology
these nations
these civilizations
the battle rages over
eternity
yours and mine
the sieve and the sand 
thanks from the corner
Wow. Two days and two completely different, but equally incredible posts. I take it back, this one is way better.
hah… thanks. i think.
