No Love On the Battlefield

Words of missiles Blows from cannons Swords in tongues We had withdrawn apart Unspoken strategies Mind of mines Stealth attacks Against one another’s heart Gunshot smoke becomes the aroma Of the atmosphere amongst us Causalities in our bloodshed Dormant our affectionate love Love cannot survive in warfare We shield our warm center graze Cause of damage internally praised By the open hand grenades Blind to see our adversary his annihilation in vengeance Precious life dying before sunrise No waving flags in distance Time sails swiftly Duo soldiers still at war No arsenal, no ammunition Peace constantly ignored Clinch with knives Till one is killed Love must die to survive On this insensible battlefield
