After Victory

The land is drenched in crimson
  the people are 
uneasy
      despite their apparent triumph
    they are not sure 
of their future
    "Let's see what tomorrow brings"
    Even thought the moon
still sends down its beams
     they must be wary of darkness
          As night turns to day
the people can wee the scene
           of their victory
Haven't they learned yet
that blood equals blood
     and every battle 
leads to more battles
    Only when this 
is understood
   will the dove of
peace    
  spread its wings 
and fly away
