Body count

Word Count: 59




The body count
has started,
the battles
are underway.
The rivers of red
run past
the dead,
as atheists
kneel to pray.
Politicians
reach decisions,
of who
and where
and what.
Soldiers
and civilians
are those
who pay the costs.
The media
screams propoganda
at a world
that sits and waits.
Mankind kills one another
in fear fuelled hate.
