The Contempt of War

The contempt of war
With spewn bodies and limbs

A war cry
A man dies
There is anger within

They face each other
Tempers flare
Eyes bulging red
You lose control
The anger burns within

Screaming, shouting
Cursing and swearing

Burning rages
Fuels carnage and mayhem
The never ending screams

Killing, maiming
They first fight with pride

But as the battle rages
They start to fight for their lives

The sea of turmoil
Of body and souls

When will this carnage end?

The ongoing battle
Gives death a grin

Misbegotten war
Why plague our lands

Why must we let death?
Smile with a grin

Have we done something wrong?
Have we committed a sin?

Fatigue getting tired
Can barely stand ground

Feeling wary, feeling sad
When will this carnage end?

The smoke clears
On desolate grounds

The moans of death is all around
Alone figure stands in shock in pain

As he listens to moans of dying men
The pain is real the war cry's fade

As he re-enacts the days
That goes round in his head

Of the memories of pain
Of a contemptible war
