Defeat
August 22, 2013
There’s blood in the soil
On your blade
On your hands
There’s ash in the sky
On your gun
On the grass
Houses are on fire
The river runs with death
The stench of the surviving
It reeks of fear
There are tears in your eyes
In my eyes
In their eyes
There’s a frown on your face
On my face
On their faces
You cannot stand
I watch you fall
I won’t help you get up
It’s your fault in the end
Pick up your flag
It is tattered and trampled
Go home
You’ve lost
I’ve lost
