Fowr Horsemen of the Apocalypse

War is just a means tae a’ end Deaythe’s the price of life. Famine’s black horse fills the gullet of Deaythe’s strife. War is just a means tae a’ end Deaythe’s the price of life Power swings Wars red sword the weak an’ young suffice. War is just a means tae a’ end Deaythe’s the price of life. Conquest raises its mighty bow crowning Kings with delight. War is just a means tae a’ end Deaythe’s is just the price of life on pale horse the banshee rides no matter the what your fief. We are the fertilzer of the field for life is all and deayth is real.

Excellent Quatrain Deborah, a wee touch o the Irish Scots here. I used to sing in the school Gaelic choir when i was younger. Our school even sang Amazing Grace at the Mod, what a buzz that was>>James

Just beautifully done! Wished I have learned Gaelic, but I know that's a very difficult language. And thank you for your comment on Fly high. Gert

It's Scottish dialect/ of old english if you'd like to learn more there's a great site with a translation dictionary. dsl.ac.uk/dsl/. I've had two years of Irish Gaelic and I could sing a bit in gaelic WOW next to Hawiian it's very difficult.

Unique style of this quatrain, and emphasizes even more the futality of war, death from war and the price of life.....from ancient times...through modern times....man never ceases to pick war over peace.... Great job! ~ Carrie
