    Plan B

     PLAN B

    the general tore, into
    ribbons and confetti,
    Plan B
    'I dont believe in such...
    tripe' he bellowed
    'what we do, we will
    do with... conviction
    sincerely and uncompromisingly'

    so they marched,

    the General , his captains and
    corporals, and their
    privates, plus all the soldiers,

    right off a cliff
    without parachutes
    some grew wings through
    evolution magic and divine
    intervention, but those who
    were unfit, unmagical, and unpious
    dashed themselves on the
    rocks below
    in the resulting bodily melange
    the general's broken figure
    considered plan B

    Very nice job. I can picture then all the same following that guy into the rocks. Its a new look at the old, "If your friends jumped off a cliff would you?"

    thank you! just like lemmings eh?

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
