Cries of War
I am a natural disaster.
The natural disaster that spills blood through
Hatred and jealously.
Leaving fingerprints of destruction upon earth’s soul,
My hands killed peace a long time ago.
I am the mother of death and bride of slaughter.
I cause men to drop and corpses to rise,
Engorging my shame.
The world feels my pain and cries my sorrow.
I am the tyrant’s angry fist.
Nations crumple under my struggle.
I drained the life from cities and left them with
Carnage.
The desolate land is my frigid heart.
Time blessed me with a curse-
The curse of infinite time.
The weight of eternity pushes down on me and I can feel
My sanity slipping.
I rather die in the hell I bring then to continue
This lurid immortality.
But I come to find out that death cannot come to
All of us.
