'Charge!' escaped eager
lips, the battle had been lost,
the war just begun.

Foes collide with great
Splashes of color and rage -
- What is it we are fighting for?
RiseandBe's avatar
Even the righteous
war is fought with bloodshed, will
the dawn ever come?

The sun looms bloody
In the sky - offering no
Solace for the new day.

War raged on, mindless
of the bodies collected;
what price must one pay?
RiseandBe's avatar
It was the best of
times and the worst- righteous war
with no end in sight.
MagicalJoey's avatar
But is war righteous?
Do the deaths of many bring
meaning to the few?
RiseandBe's avatar
Escape tyranny-
What price are you willing to
pay for salvation?
MagicalJoey's avatar
home made salvation
comes at the edge of a sword;
but who is the saved?
RiseandBe's avatar
We - the survivors
of unimaginable
evil - will prevail.
MagicalJoey's avatar
Against sword and bow,
against armor-piercing words,
we will somehow win.
