EULOGY


Soldiers move in
As they paint the foreign skies.
Red.
With the blood of enemies,
Through shattered eyes.
"Forward!" they march on
Puppets in a rag show.
"Kill!" drilled into them.
Boundaries unknown.

Rabid rulers lust for more,
Theaterics of holy wars.
Submitting to faith,
And paralytic justice,
Rendered mortal long before.
"Advance!" they shout!
To hapless victims
Of hope spurned eons ago.
Sneer with facist pride,
As they dog the spoils of dispute.

"Who's to blame?
Who's to claim?"
The lives of innocents
Laundered like dust to the wind.
Through gory sacrificial rites
They drank the blood
Of brethren still.
No remorse.
No memory left.
Of annhilation caused by savage means.
Mothers cry as they lose their lives,
To salivating human greed.
