Contact Harvest Peom - Harvest's Hardest
Posted By: butsizzle <xninetyfourhours@hotmail.com>Date: 1/29/11 12:34 a.m.


This is a Poem my friend wrote after reading Contact Harvest. Enjoy.

Harvest's Hardest

On Harvest we've resided
Our home is where our pride is
Until now we'd been following the peaceful path were guided
Now Sergeant Johnson's in the mode,
to train us for this crippling show of force and anguish here that we're about to be provided.
We got covies on the way
Alpha squad won't turn away
Were the first and finest hope for our parents and our stay
on this planet that's our home
in this time that's spent most prone
Waiting for the most unwelcome species in the Epsilon zones.

Before we knew the weight
We were training for the date
That the DCS would visit our sacred harvest grounds
this training versed a battle
consisting of the rattle
of BR55s with tactical training rounds
Designed to simulate
the inevitable human fate
by incapacitating movement and ending you on the ground
We could learn without fatalities
the benefits and maladies
of covering your ass and knowing what all surrounds.

We fired every round
On the Tiara and on the ground
with the pain we felt from watching our luscious home burned dry
Every river and every pond,
Every home and every lawn
glassed over by an overcharged plasma supply.
Now we travel back home
Through the endless unknown
In a cargo bin fitted with a slipspace drive
With our wounded and survived
We remember those condemned
And live on to fight this covenant until all have been avenged.
