The Irony of War

Written by: Rainbowchaser Sara De'nas, Siren of the Flame
Date: Friday, October 19th, 2001
Addressed to: Everyone


One clashes, one jabs, another moves
Two dance upon the yellow plain
Locked in struggle, never to learn
The lesson that life has to teach
Another strikes, one dodges, another lashes
Crimson falls upon the land
Like waterfalls from endless cliffs
Life soon abandones one
Another smiles, one falls, another bows
The final curtain call has arrived
As another's head does fall upon the land
The third salutes, in great irony
And she knows that there will be no end.

Penned by my hand on the 13th of Arios, in the year 54 MA.
