"War"

How can you do it?
The blood drips from your hands
Doesn't it bother you?

A little girl cries
There's a constant sound
It's scars your mind

As you watch them die
The tears run from their eyes
Then their heart stops ... never to beat again

Metal in a small form pierces you
A scream is let out
You fall to the ground

It's dark
Your eyes are open
Yet you see nothing

You rise to your feet
The ground is crimson
Corpses amongst you ... motionless

Your stomach aches
As does your heart
A tear falls

Wounded you stamper
See a friend eyes-wide
Chest pierced

Hopelessness saddens you
The friend isn't with you anymore
Another tear falls

Memories of comfort are long gone
The new images forever with you
Why? ...

War.
