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.
