The reason for War

by drewy-nickson

One man dead before another over and over, and over. I see them when i slumber I hear them when i feast. Rosy crimson waterfalls gushing from mouths Just lonely toy soldiers devouring masked boys These fresh open cuts know no salvation will never taste sweet paracetamol. One man kills another, without even a name exchanged Is this a man's worth? Can he even be blamed? The boy whispers to his father: When you go to war You're not a man anymore
