Disenchanted Ideology

There were shades of tranquility
    aching 'neath civilization's cry,
still blood was shed amid glorified
  borders of battlefield's convoluted calling,
each magnified footprint pooled crimson
   filled ideologue's of disenchantment
     amidst revolutions of ill-chosen power,
 marching to drumbeats of fool's gilded dogma

I think I've marched to those drum beats once or twice in the past. Eerily dark and deep Paloma. You've carved a brilliant nightmare from a dreamscape leaving it barren and cold. Blood drips and pools in the shadows your poem creates. Amazing poetry.
