DAY #32 - A Martial Beat

Song of death

by Kayden Oconnell

Grab your sword

Sharp your spear

War is death

to those who fear

the heady vengeance

that we crave

that we carry

to your grave

Make the camp

Swill the wine

War is death

to those who dine

with foolish rivals

that we doom

that we banish

to their tomb

March to meet

See their eyes

War is death

to those who fight

and carry anger

that we share

that we relish

to our care

Watch the death

Feel the pain

War is death

to those who gain

the sudden image

that we lost

that we perish

to great cost

Who is left

Who can cry

War is death

to those who buy

the empty promise

that we bought

that we bled

as we fought

War is death
