Immortality of Battle

** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only **

The immortality of battle,
Is the carrier of our hate,
In Pandora’s box it waits,
Our hearts it plagues.

The immortality of battle,
Like a stain on our souls,
A drop of wine on our blouse,
A ruining drop,
Even if a fraction small,
Once dropped it taints,
Destroys it all.

The immortality of battle,
Like in bubonic times,
Starts with a crumb,
Makes everything numb,
Kills everything sublime,
And itself, it never dies.

The immortality of battle,
An endless tale,
A book with universal pages,
A beginning marked in space,
A plot without an end,
An undetermined fate,
Humanity cannot mend.

The immortality of battle,
The engine of our war,
The treason for prattle,
Always wanting more.

The immortality of battle,
In a viral box be found,
Its contents be scattered,
And in human hearts be bound.
