The Horde Marches

The Horde Marches

The idea should be
Specific and universal
The syntax should be multiplexed
Using form that suits theme
Felicitous choice of language
Should render meaning apparent
Without need for extraneous verbiage
Character defines tone and tone defines character
Delivery should be unaffected
We march to the pig skin beat
A sound that has echoed for thousands of years
Bouncing off the hills
Then concrete
A superstructure penetrates the mind
Like a mammoth tusk through a brave
And no more can be said
For the trampling of the horde
Each footstep a droplet
Drowns the voice
No one can hear
No one will know
No one.
