I wrote this one around the same time as my other one, Our World Devolving. Also, this is another one of my poems I wrote in regards to the current events in the world which was going on at the time I wrote this one.

Soldiers in uniforms Crucifying their brothers In order to establish Justice for their colors Why on earth is this Even accepted To kill and proclaim Death by dismemberment Killing all people Our friends and relatives Who's really our enemy When your killing your family To live by a cause Diseased by corruption No matter what faction Your reason is false and disrupted Nothing can be justified If your killing your brothers Killing is killing Whether its me Or your mother No law to decide What is right Or who dies Just body's that lie Facedown by a guy Whos spilling All the blood Of the victims As god is the witness No one is innocent. And the killers Keeps on killing.

Criss, well written and profound. As I kept reading the rhythm of the piece seemed to increase, causing more tension. Friendly suggestion: check your last two lines-killers keeps, and please point out for me anything that seems out of place if you read one of mine.
