Blood Rain

Feelings some less defying and unexplained 
Death takes order without complain
Over pastures falls blood rain
Pleads to surrender seize and refrain
Graves spread out over plains 
World of grief bound and chained 
Humanity differs until the stronger remains 
Watching powerless as the world is strained
Bodies of the defeated lay lifeless and drained
Blankets lay over them soaked and blood stained
Leaving now the mourning from the down pour of blood rain
