Animorphs United

All for one,

None of them safe,

Ill will against them,

More and more

Of the enemy each day,

Real heroes for

Peoples unknown,

Have the weight of the world on their

Shoulders...

Until help can come,

No where to hide,

Inevitable courage,

To deal with an

Enemy of much pride

Die, they are willing to save those they love and fight

for a world they call home.

Together They Fight

Together they fight,

Together they stand,

For people they love,

Freedom they demand.

Together they fight,

Together they cry,

For the people they save,

And all the people that die.

They will keep on fighting

until the end

To save a world that

they are willing defend.

Together they fight,

Together they stress,

Over forgotten homework,

That huge test.

Together they fight,

Together they save,

The people they love,

The whole human race.

Teenagers who fight

for all human kind,

To save what they hold dearly,

To save their own minds.

Cassie's Prayer

Now I lay me

Down to sleep,

I pray the nightmares

stay away from me,

And if I dream them

before the morning comes,

I hope I beat them

Every last one.

Now I lay me

Down to sleep,

I pray away all the monsters

that do creep,

And if they get me

before the night is done,

I hope that I am

the only one.

Spare the others

All these things

That I go through

Before the first light.

Keep my friends safe

And out of harms way

And let us live

Please, just one more day.

Brother

I used to look up to you,

My big brother,

the one who I best knew.

We used to play

one-on-one

spend whole days

on the beach in the sun.

I miss the way things were

Big Brother,

I miss the way things could

be.

We were inseperable,

you and me.

But then you went and changed

Joined The Sharing and

hung out with people you age.

You became part of something bigger,

part of a new crowd,

hang out with me?

No, you're not allowed.

Some day I'll save you

From that hideous thing

in your head.

I'll make sure that Yeerk

is dead.

Until that day

Brother.

I promise you,

soon you'll be free!

Last Words

She knew that

their was hidden meaning

to the foolish words he spoke

as a gray colored thing

made its way out of his ear.

"They're here!

Coming to take the human race!

A fight against all odds,

across a vast distance of space!"

His words became jumbled

as he struggled to catch his

breath,

hoping to finish his message

before his death.

"Now listen to me

and what I say.

This thing beside my head,

is not the first Yeerk

to die within my head.

They come to take our people

and use them as slaves.

Please stay away from The

Sharing.

But there is hope,

there are those who fight,

with the will and strength

given to them for those whom

they fight!"

He stuttered and tried

to let his daughter hear

the last words he would speak

but death ceized him from her grasp,

and just before death could pull

him to the light,

he smiled as he thought,

"Freedom at last,"

and so he died,

in the middle of the night.

Marco's Prayer

Now I lay me down to sleep,

I pray that the whole night I do not weep.

From nightmares with her pretty face

In some far, far away place.

Nightmares of this endles fight

One fought both day and night.

Now I lay me down to rest

I pray I don't wake up to some new test.

My friends and I, we do our best

to save those whom we love.

And in the end,

let what we fight for not be in vain

Or let the Yeerks

inflict more pain.

Hope

Hope is something I once had

Long ago before things got bad.

They came and took me from

where I lay

to live as a slave

each and every day.

No choices could I make

on my own,

Often I sat in the back of my mind

all alone.

Hope,

hope was something that was real

before this whole thing,

this ordeal.

Hope was something I fought for

something i lost more and more

each day.

And now,

and now hope has worn away.

Fire

A flicker of yellow,

A pinch of red,

Dancing in the wind.

Hot to the touch,

Cannot be tamed,

Nor put out.

It rages on

Through the night

Struggling

No matter how hopeless

the fight.

Wicked if

Watched by no one

And has chance to be free.

Rachel can,

in a sense,

be described

as the fire that we see.

Home

Home..

A planet far away...

A place I have longed for

many a day...

I have not seen it

for several monthes

stranded on a place called Earth.

My human friends

tell me not to worry

that I will be saved

but its hard to feel

that they haven't forgotten me...

Me who is very far away.

The grass is softer than this

the air not polluted.

Home...

place I miss greatly...

place I miss daily...

place in which I may never return.
