Aeternus, Eternus

To Battle

To battle, to battle
Into battle we go

Swiftly
        Silently
                 Effort
          For
Infinity

Preparation -123 ABC and obedience training-
Induction -sciences math and arts at back-
Assault Sensation -tests exams and failure feared-

To battle, to battle
On to the fields, the halls

Fervently
          Fearfully
                    Progress
            Into
Posterity

Anticipation -PSLE Os As and honours degree-
Trepidation -worry anxiety and moment of truth eventually-
Graduation -joy relief and sadness trinity-

To battle, oh to battle
On to soaring heights we rise
Into infinity, into posterity, dreams realised

Casuality
           -innocent dreams-
Injury
           -permanent scarring-
Deathtoll
           -unconfirmed accounts-
Victory
           -resounding hollow-

We won, to battle to battle I say
And we lost, but who cares anyway
Infinity remembers only those who lived
And forgets those that fell halfway

To battle, to battle...?

Yes I'm bitter. My first poem that has anything to do with education and my grouses with it. *gasp* Huimin just wrote something that could be possibly politically and socially sensitive! Applause please!

Haha. Now to battle, to battle I go. Last paper tomorrow. Heh.
