The Human Nature - War
Swords lay on the floor
As men fell to the dirt
Some, plunged through with spears
Some, sword impaled
Flies buzzing round gutted intestines
Made a feast of dead ones
Who suffered fatal blows
And had bellies rent open
Babies were snatched from Mothers’ arms
And bisected into equal halves.
With wild grins on savage faces,
Mothers were raped and slaughtered
The heavens watching on in horror
Witnessed the land become a pool of blood
As lives were harvested
By lifeless blades
God, sitting on his throne
Set his elbow on his knees
With his back slightly bent
Regretting every action of creation
