Hope you enjoy!! Feedback would be amazing. Poetics....its not my strong suit, but we'll give it a shot.
Order 66: 21st Nova Corp. --- Mygeeto ---
Snow flutters through the smoky gray haze,
Rising to my feet, ice crunches beneath my gear.
The enemy clanking, far across the bridge, eludes my gaze,
The tall Jedi approaches as does the commander; dissolving our fear.
Igniting his blue saber, Mundi stands upon the barricade,
“Forward!” he orders…as many have done before..
Shouldering our rifles we press on to follow the glowing blade,
Fires flair, lasers glaze, missiles burst; battle after battle we’ve endured.
My brothers fall...the payment of an ungrateful republic,
You’ve ordered us again to follow you to hell.
We’ve been told our sacrifice is symbolic,
I’m not afraid to die, but after this…it’ll be you who is the shell.
New incoming order! Our lives are no longer yours to sell!
TheIRISH Rogue:
Order 66: Master Yoda
Fallen, the shroud of the Clone Wars had.
Void, the essence of the Force became.
Within a moment, an empty swath cut through the galaxy.
Stretched thin through the galaxy we had been,
warn tired, our code challenged, perceptions: tattered and torn.
Vulnerable we were from every direction..most severely from within.
Diverse, vibrant, full of hope was the galaxy..
Now, created chaos and strife the Empire has..
Tightly clenched, order is, by this Sith Emperor,
instability he has brewed.
Rebellion, like a phoenix, will rise from the ash of the republic.
Retreat, bide our time we must..
Squander our hope now if we fight…into exile I go.
Watch over the boy you will..
TheIRISH Rogue:
Order 66: 327th Star Corp: Commander Bly
We are soldiers and we have orders.
General Secura has led us valiantly from the start of this conflict.
Through dark mountains to fluorescent marshes, from Acklay to battle droids;
She has saved my life countless times and I hers.
Pacification is our mission and our mission is on Felucia.
My hologram projector pinged --
“Execute order 66” it said.
My training is clear,
I am a soldier and I have my orders.
On patrol we scouted ahead of the column.
She approached the crest of the hill,
the planet seemed to go silent..
No ambient plants, no animals, no droids.
Thankfully we had on our helmets that day.
None of us could stand to look her in the eye; until she began to turn.
My rifle already fixed upon her back; my eyes met her glance,
Before her instinct could react we pulled our triggers.
We kept firing..
we kept firing hoping to quicken her end.
It was quicker than the inquisition that would soon come;
quicker than a life lived in a corner, always staring at the door..always with one eye open.
Secura's glance pierced me in a way I will not soon forget.
Always having longed to see her eyes again, to be near her at the close of a battle;
Thoughts I will now bury with her.
I was born a soldier...and we follow orders.
