War
War
In the crucible of strife, where echoes roar,
A haunting tale unfolds, of battles sore.
War's bitter embrace, a tempest's might,
Where shadows dance in the endless night.
Drums of conflict, relentless beat,
On fields where warriors and destinies meet.
Armored legions in the morning sun,
A symphony of chaos, battles begun.
Smoke and thunder, a symphony dread,
Tales of courage, and those fallen, unsaid.
Flags unfurl in the winds of disdain,
A crimson tide on the battleground's plain.
Warriors clad in armor, both fierce and frail,
Their stories etched on the grim battlefield.
A tragic ballet of swords and spears,
As hopes are shattered, drowned in fears.
Yet, amid the carnage, a prayer for peace,
For wars to cease, and conflicts to cease.
In the aftermath, a somber bough,
An ode to those who rest there now.
So let us yearn for a world reformed,
Where swords to plowshares are transformed.
In the verses of peace, let humanity soar,
And echo the lessons of the tales of war.
