Subject: Contest-Inspired Poem.

With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

Our names ore no more than mere memories,
Our pasts are cloaked, hidden,... myseries.
We have fought long and hard in this War,
Yet our names will not be in history.

We have watched skies burn,
As if the air was on fire.
We have watched oceans boil,
Planets glassed by an enemy so frightening, so dire.

Many of our kind are now gone,
Their lives brutally and unfairly taken away.
Burned alive, nuked, lost in space, broken...
But their killers shall be made to pay.

We have seen great war ships in space,
Fighting, often hopelessly, against this powerful foe.
It always ends the same,
With ships and planets being set aglow.

We are regarded as outsiders by some,
By others, as near-mythological, invincible.
Only ourselves and few others know what we truely are,
And that is Human, no different from anyone, by any principle.

We have walked amongst thousands of broken bodies,
"Victorious," with corpses at our feet.
We have fought long and hard in this War,
But the Covenant Drums have not ceased to beat.

We are -087,
We are -104,
We are -043,
We are -058,
We are -117.

We are Spartans, always fighting, never resting.
We are different, but same.
We have fought long and hard in this War,
But the Covenant are not yet tamed.
