Promised Land

Steven Fuentes

Far away from the human eye

Lies a legendary haven of verdant tranquil

Everywhere, enticing shine

Luring many to its vivid ambiance

2

Yet surrounded by a world of destruction Where ardent fire leaves nothing behind

But a remnant of indomitable courage

Reflected in a warrior’s crimson armor

3

Khan and his formidable legion 12 strong Devised a mission to conquer the sacred land

Setting sight all their hopes

A salute fortifying their foremost desire

4

Traversing past harsh storms

Until a beam of light struck through the darkest clouds

Leaving behind a muted sepia land

Uncovering the fabled land’s true colors

5

Upon settling, everything went as intended

The sky recedes its warm glamor

Revealing a cool facade

Then one night, a tiny star fell from the sky

6

Its brilliance attracted the eager Khan As he ran in avid pursuit

Fast, yet just fallen short, he gets exhausted

Only to find out another revelation

An obelisk scarred by sacrilege

Turned everything upside down

Condemning every other thing Into an undead husk of itself

10

Internally devastated, Khan retreats

His mission fell from grace

Abandoning even his most trusted legion

Now soulless remnants of a former glory
