Die!
A bloody battlecry.
Kill!
A deathly command.
Swords clash,
sinew, bone, heads shattered,
death for the sake of land.

Ceasefire!
Nobody listens.
An eternal battle blazes on.
Millions of men, women, children.
Dead.

No hope for an ending,
no thought to how it began.
Lost to the battle.

Through the years,
methods of war change.
Warmongers come and go,
victims forgotten,
though the death stays the same.

War is stupid,
wasteful,
sinful.
