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
