Unfinished Poems

Painted wounds on blistering skin

Reveal the triumph that may have been

His trek was long, his journey hard

The leader high could go but far

Pelted with insults, his men far from home,

The army deserted, their general was alone

So for weeks on end his march drove onward

Across sandy desert as the sun beat downward
