From Snafu to Fubar

There is no black and white
if the land is splattered with
blood
Littered with bodies
bleeding through the cracks
of the parched earth
Souls struggling to escape
the death rattle
of hatred, rage, torture
Brother against brother
making war so that there
may be peace
Psychological manipulation
be brave and kill your brother
for this is not murder
it is war
a combat mission
A suicide misssion
a fool's errand
It is black and white
kill or be killed
the ultimate sacrifice
The war culture
the culture of death
Here nobody wins..
Thou shalt not kill

Tiny Jewels

ragged thorns
penetrate skin
dew and tears
tiny jewels
drop
tempering
blood
imbued with
melancholy
clenched fists
tighten round
the roses
while pain
dances
through
the blur
of spiralling
colour
