Saga ~ Unnumbered Impossibilities ~ UDC3 Completed in time 1/28 ; Thank you all *hugs*

Vadey - My fave of that batch. More similar than different and still so far apart.

Azure - I'd say 'sie werden's überleben' but that is ever doubtful for clones.

earlybird - Thank you. I will miss Moki and his squad when this is over...

ginchy - It's not my fault the prompts are so far in the left field. But this last batch was obvioulsy meant for a comparison of Jedi and clones. And the winner is - the next update.


The Song that inspired 'Disagreement'.
I hope it works, since I can't test this right now.

[u][b]Week 19: Truth[/b][/u]


[u]1. Peace[/u]

If there was peace,
There would be no us
Peace doesn't need us
Do we need peace?
We'd need a place to relax
Some time to chill
We get chilled down
Time and again
Thawed
On demand.
Is that peace?

It is and will stay anyway
The only peace we get to know
If there is more beyond that concept
Than getting frozen in a vat
It is not for us
And we have to make
It something we can relate to

What we don't know
What we don't get
Except for a frozen moment
Treasured in our head.
Antonym.




[u]2. Tension[/u]

In my arms and shoulders, and maybe mirrored on my face
In the air around me, humming through the bones of this place
Why can't I remember the last time that I felt it not.
Why can't we just surrender to it with a final shot?

Of course we cannot we're made for war and this is what we do;
Of course we do not, we are stronger than that and can see this through;
Of course we will not, unthinkable, and let your brothers die.
But if we could,
How it would
Feel like soaring free and sky high





[u]3. Misunderstanding[/u]

That we are not humans and do not feel
That we are items, just machines
That you are better - different should be the word
That we are fighting to save your world
That we do not grieve and know no fear
That we are more (or less) than we appear
That given a choice, we'd volunteer
That given a choice you would not
That you are so different when you are not
That we're all the same, when we ain't either
That we're beasts and heroes when we are neither
That we can be owned
Because we have been cloned




[u]4. Disagreement[/u]

Yes, Sir! Yes, Sir! Yes, Sir!
Yes, Sir! Yes, Sir! Yes, Sir!
Yes, Sir! Yes, Sir! Yes, Sir!

Yes, Sir! Yes, Sir! Yes, Sir!
Yes, Sir! Yes, Sir! Yes, Sir!
Yes, Sir! Yes, Sir! Yes, Sir!

Yes, Sir! Yes, Sir! Yes, Sir!
Yes, Sir! Yes, Sir! Yes, Sir!
Yes, Sir! Yes, Sir! Yes, Sir!

Yes, Sir! Yes, Sir! Yes, Sir!
Yes, Sir! Yes, Sir! Yes, Sir!
Yes, Sir! Yes, Sir! Yes, Sir!


Yes, Sir! Yes, Sir! Yes, Sir!
Yes, Sir! Yes, Sir! Yes, Sir!
Yes, Sir! Yes, Sir! Yes, Sir!

no
But I have no voice in this.
Silent scream:




[b]5. War[/b]

This is my life
This is my life
This is my life
This is my life
This is my life

Those are my brothers and this is our life
Those are my brothers I have to safe
This is my life
This is my strife
My brothers - my life.

This is what I know: War
This is what I know: War
This is what we are
Warriors to the core
We know what we are
War

And knowing this
And being thus
There is just one way for us
To gain peace -

To be no more -
Not war
Not anything

 

Great set

If there was peace,
There would be no us
Peace doesn't need us

so true bred for the wars

 

Superb. I don't know what else to say.


5. War

This is my life
This is my life
This is my life
This is my life
This is my life

Those are my brothers and this is our life
Those are my brothers I have to safe
This is my life
This is my strife
My brothers - my life.

This is what I know: War
This is what I know: War
This is what we are
Warriors to the core
We know what we are
War

And knowing this
And being thus
There is just one way for us
To gain peace -

To be no more -
Not war
Not anything

 

'Misunderstanding' was AMAZING. Especially those last two lines which really packed a punch. Excellent work!

 

Mel, meine Zaubermaus!



You have the most unusual sources of inspiration. Was that really U2 just now with the music link?



Anyway, brilliant lines of your brothers in arms on fields of destruction.

 

earlybird - Bred for war, indeed. And sooner or late it gets you, if you don't get out.

Vadey - Thank you.

ginchy - Thanks.

azure - Argh! There was an audioplay once about a Zaubermaus and it was rather horrible. And no, it should not have been U2 in that link, and anyway, if it was 'Brothers in Arms' that is Dire Straights. The link should have led to 'Brothers' from a band called Frustration.
*is frustrated* I'll bring it with me...

Everybody. It has been a great ride and loads of fun. But now, the end is near. I'm sorry, I forgot where that quote from this weeks's title is from. *whimper*

[u][b]Week 20: This is How the World Ends...[/b][/u]


[u]1. Fate [/u]

No I cannot believe it
No I cannot believe it
No I cannot believe that this happened to Moki of them all

He wanted this most
He dreamed this escape
He worked so hard for the freedom he believed in
But when I look at the men of his squad
I see disappointment, they want him back

And they cannot believe it
No they cannot believe it
Cannot believe that he's gone when they're still here themselves

They did not chose this future
And they stare at the space where he should be
They are free
But where is
Moki





[u]2. The Force[/u] [hl=black](Sila)[/hl]

that we are is smaller now by one.
The force that we are has ground to a halt
Standstill
Freeze-frame

-
-
-

The force that we are is set free now
Unleashed on the world, unbridled
undirected
aimless
all over the place
- don't think 'Moki '-

He was
all over this plan
He is
all over the place
- whole in our hearts -

And as we get bellowed on and out
To Mandalore, towards your home
The silence where your elation should be
Hurts most.

I know I didn't always agree
With your dream,
That it was, would be
To die for.
It is.



[u]3. Luck[/u] [hl=black](Jerem)[/hl]

And here I had always been thinking
You'd be going down with style
Such a disappointment Moki
You'll never hear the end of this
- I wish -

Tossed like a coin
Sunny side up
Bring us some luck
- we need it -

So I crack a joke 'cause that's who I am
and I know you'd understand
Sarge

So it's just our luck
That you were at the back
Because any of us would have died of shame
To be seen
Fooling around like that
- lame -

Aw, shucks, Moki old scugger
I've run out of jokes
And this one is on me.



[u]4. Credits[/u] [hl=black](Fi)[/hl]

Opening -
Us four
And just that one last mission
Just one last break for freedom
The four of us -
Running
Running

Zoom on Moki bringing up the rear
Zoom on Moki - almost there
And then gone
White shape on dark ground
No sound
No viewport icon
Gone

End -
His name in huge letters
And we who are still here to watch
Silent

There are no words big enough

We who remember
Remember the pain
With your name
[i]darasuum[/i]
What a way to start your life in freedom:
[i]Ni su'cuyi, gar kyr'adyc,
ni partayli, gar darasuum[/i]*
Moki

The credit is yours




[u]5. Love [/u] [hl=black](Moki)[/hl]

If only I had forever
If only I had a last word
- love -
But it's too late now and this is my decision

[i]darasuum darasuum bal miit cuyi[/i]**

And I would do it again, just like this
Exactly like this
Three on the run
And one gone.

[i]darasuum darasuum bal miit cuyi[/i]

And nothing lasts forever
Certainly not words
- friends -
Maybe.

In that case I know in my heart
- [i]kar'tayli darasuum[/i]*** -
Know forever that you are my friends, brothers
Not just a word: [i]vode[/i]
And we will be

Know that, and one last word,
[i]kar'tayli darasuum[/i]
I will be there.

I am alive, you are dead

5. Love (Moki)

If only I had forever
If only I had a last word
- love -
But it's too late now and this is my decision

darasuum darasuum bal miit cuyi**

And I would do it again, just like this
Exactly like this
Three on the run
And one gone.

darasuum darasuum bal miit cuyi

And nothing lasts forever
Certainly not words

Maybe.

In that case I know in my heart
- kar'tayli darasuum*** -
Know forever that you are my friends, brothers
Not just a word: vode
And we will be

Know that, and one last word,
kar'tayli darasuum
I will be there.

 

Ni su'cuyi, gar kyr'adyc,
ni partayli, gar darasuum*

so true

Lovely last set to complete this.

 

I can't believe the drabbles are over! Excellent work with this one--I'm in awe over all the hard work you've put into these. Let's just say that at the beginning of the drabbles I could not have fathomed I'd be reading poetry dealing with the clones, but you did it so well and just blew me away. You really humanized them and made me see them in a different light. Great work!

 

Thank you Vadey. I knew I'd kill him the moment I started writing these. It was hard sometimes, but Moki was definitely worth the heartache.

earlybird - I would have put aay'haan in there, but I think it's too soon for that.

ginchy - Can't believe it either, but it is kinda nice. If you think of them as human now, all work i put in this is justified.
But let me assure you, it was not that bad. I'm a natural with poetry...
