These Warrior Ways

A painted red and purple sky
Birds startled fly up high
Thunder rumbles heralding  bad times to begin
These last days will mean the end

Who would have thought such magnificence 
Would lead to ash and loss of innocence
For when war and destruction rules
We are left as idiotic fools.
