They Rise


Greatness

spawn’s reincarnation

like the dawn

rebirths the sun 

 

Alexander

Patton, and Churchill sleep

but woken

rebecome  

 

When destiny calls

the greatest rise

to battle

zero sum

 

And stem the tide

before the flood

on shores of victory

— won

 

(Dreamsleep: December, 2025)
