Ceasefire Armistice

C  Centuries  of  fighting   and  vain  inglorious  trauma  A

E  Enemies   for  no   reason   other  than  blind   terror  R

A  Agony  fueled  by   apocalypse   in   ultimate  spasm  M

S  Surrender in  shelled  remains  or  else  you must die  I

E  Entrails  exposed  for   eternity  on  fierce   bayonets  S

F  Fighter planes  nerve gas  death war crimes for what  T

I  Indiscriminate  suffering  bones  strewn  like  confetti  I

R  Ravenous greed  delivered by swords  rather  phallic  C

E  Earth will  swallow all warriors and then we are  free  E
