"Ode to war...." by Winter Born

Born again to violence,
and to violence drawn.
Blood has it's own sound
when it hits the ground.
A red rain that cannot be copied.
A warm spray that you will never forget.

The screams of the dying are impossible to ignore.
They cut through nerves like a dull knife through leather.
The dreams are all you take home.
Family,
friends,
lovers...
I have watched them all die.
I held my brothers head in my lap as he died...
cries to his mother un answered....

Creator...
how
will I
go?

the art of war makes casualties of us all..even when we dont witness them first hand, we carry the scars of lost brothers and sisters with us forever...this was so brutal that last question stinging the heart ~kristy

wicked description... impaling, atrocious... I love: "blood has it's own sound / when it hits the ground" too much control of tone, awesome couplet hits home... a deadly bullet, if I say
