Blood and the only thing I see is


The smoke anyway they’re so regular


Taking a bullet like a martyr


Can’t even spot the moist soil covered plains


They’re too busy falling on top of one another


Shooting away from the safe space one by one


So where are they running off to again


Nowhere since home is far overseas


They’re always so hopeful that it stops


And now I’m here just staring at the muddy sky


The author's comments:

With the state of the world, war is always a threat, and while I haven’t fought, it breaks my heart knowing people face death everyday for uncertain peace.
