I'd say burning wreck rather than wrack, but fair enough.

Honestly, I've begun to think this poem can be levelled also at red-pillers/black-piller guys who revel in despair and in the spreading of it, rather than any legitimate resistance towards those who might otherwise oppress us.

The title is actually the title of one awesome Amon Amarth song!

One of my favorite bands! I often use their songs as inspiration for many of my stories.

Okay, this one I REALLY like. (of course, I'm probably reading into what I want to) The NPC picture above it set the tone perfectly too. Awesome in my humble opinion.

This is my first space shanty, written to commemorate the pirate clan invasion of Earth in 1969.

My book universe is old school alternate history space opera.

Many of my readers are from the USA and a lot of them, vets, I had to post this. It is from the worldbuilding notes I wrote so my Starshatter universe read more complete. https://theblackknight.substack.com/p/rise-a-guardian?utm_source=profile&utm_medium=reader2
