A strike of inspiration sparked me to write this poem about war.
Aimless Fire

Dazed.
Far out,
Beyond desire,
Condemnation, resentation,
Crisis, and yet we still
Drain on, past the
aimless activity,
The war, and fire,
Is this what you thought?
No,
It's justice, beyond right

Out of the dark and into
That firing burning desire,
That fire, black as ice
Coming forth as a sacrifice,
Through and through
The never is here,
Colours fade,
But they remain here.

You look down?
No,
You look up, look inside that eternal flame
and find? .. nothing.
Worthless apologies soaring,
Yet you still fight,
You return,
It's justice, beyond right
