War

Upon the battlefield, 
Blades clash, and arrow whiz,
Guns fire, and artillery booms,
War is here for eternity.

Never changing, we fight our bloody wars,
Like medieval times, we fight still,
All that has changed is the weaponry,
We still kill one another given the chance.
As a general once said, 
‘War is just another form of diplomacy.’

War in eternity, not even gone when we reach the stars,
Spaceships with guns, 
To fire upon hostile aliens.
War is here to stay.
