and eternal battle
raging over a thousand years
divided by there differences
warring over sovrenty of the world

fire rages over the land
taking no prisners
a pure destructive force
burning, devouring, barbaric

water strikes in covert bursts
creating a chance for lives to escape the great evil
holding back the flames into the night
a never-ending service to the lives of the world
                            
each gaining and losing ever-precious ground
eventually you would think they would end the battle
but the war goes on
once fire was asked what it was about
and the same question was asked to a water
and they both gave the same answer

they are diffrent than us
is this really a good reason to war and kill
i dont think it is  
how about you?

I liked this a lot. A battle with fire and water, i like it.



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.
