The eleventh poem to be included in poet Aaron Ozees newest collection of poetry has just been composed and published on Poetry Nation. The piece explores an unfair battle between good and evil with a startling defeat thrown into the picture at the very end. The raw and direct feeling that rises from within the poem instantly creates an unsettling atmosphere, but proposes some prominent questions about the stability of the supernatural. Battled Battle By: Aaron Ozee Licked bellies and wandering wits Cracking grins at sights of dripping grit Shaking sweats of perspiring fiends Absent simple conduct, reason, or means Blushing at the nether that kneels ahead Prepared to obey the demands of three and six Numbering the products of both good and evil As they are piled among piles of murderous whips Aligned along what lines linger in many mists Cowering in the coupled darkness setting west Drained of cries milked into unopened stale vases Hugging the mud caked around every tempting test Approving alliance in the midst of leaders and lows Once denied now granted access to barrels of treasure Bound by the reins of the saints still wanting to guard Mutilated and removed to make way for spoiled measures
