War Never Ends

War Never Ends.

 

 

It was the final night, the sky was  black.
The troops were still, waiting for an attack.
On top of the hill, with sword and shield.
Their breath was hitched, looking across  the field.
From the distance, lights could be seen.
Torches held by men, with a drive to win.
Drums and marches, they loomed ahead.
Through towns they passed, filling them with dead. 
The troops couldn't wait for this nightmare to be stopped.
And that was when, the first stone was dropped.

 

 

The air was filled with smoke, it worsened the night.
The fires were shining, the sky was alight.
Nothing nice, from the eye could be seen.
Only blood and bone, only flesh and skin.
Mangled corpses, stripped of their steel.
They had no use for it, since they couldn't feel.
From afar, cries of sadness and dread.
Families on their knees, mourning their dead.
For they knew deep inside, what would impend.
War is like the times, it will never end.

Quite good indeed.

Reminds me of one of the poems I wrote several years ago.

A few of the rhymes are questionable but this was better than I was expecting.
