The Red and Blue Games

The shivery war had come to an end 

But the clash of the minds will never so 

Brick-hard  thoughts never seem to bend 

Before the countless lives going sore. 

 

On one side lay the bloody flag 

And on the other, the salty marine one 

Each claiming their victory bag 

Made some tales of gore 

 

The clash hadn't brewed where it should, 

But with the innocent lives of the third.  

Nobody showed the humanity they could, 

Neither did the sickle, nor the bird 

 

 

The millions, who just earned liberty 

Still remain to pay their debts 

Neither did remain their rich property 

Nor did their precious hearts 

 

Happy were the people of the third 

As they had earned freedom for their next 

Little had they fathomed the following absurd  

Their next killed and grabbed was their nest 

 

Greenfields then grew barren 

Blooming buds made not to bloom 

And before the sides made it even 

The massacre had made the world, bloody-gloom
