All is fair in love and war Was full of it Because how can something that burns so quickly and leaves charred corpses in it's wake be fair How can something that uproots the lives of many while leaving the lives of those adjacent fine It is wholly unfair fall victim merely for being in the wrong place or time Battlefields consume souls No matter their varied geography The path is always the same Destruction can not be avoided nor cheated Like Sister Death, both lie in wait Lurking and prowling to devour the unfortunate ones Praying for fairness that doesn't exist
