The soldiers faulter
Forgotten soldiers
of a platinum land
reflect quietly upon the abyss.

Hearing their own echo
It causes their minds to stumble.

The forethought is there
the sword has been drawn.

It slashes out with
a peaceful snare.

The golden flakes of
inequity give no joy
to the soldiers
as they falter.
