Planets Afire

A bit of a moldy oldy; about 5 years old, I think

Planets afire
Soldiers in mire
Warfare eternal
Ideals infernal

Flood of fire
E'er stoke higher
Midnight train
derailed by bane

Bombing runs
By the tons
Destroyed cargo
Enacted embargo

Population displaced
No lack of space
Refugees vacated
Freedom negated

Clues by spies
mistakes by lies
Double-cross
Nevermind loss

There you stand
Destiny at hand
Stand tall
The Duty Call

Prepare to fight
Make it right
Deny life
Allow strife

Fight from flank
Rise in rank
Eventual rule
Poverty null

Iron hand
Taken land
Taking charge
By and large

Call for peace
Land finds lease
Settle down
Peaceful drown

Public infraction
Rebellion in action
Deny hesitation
Call to reputation

Planets afire
Soldiers in mire
Warfare eternal
Ideals infernal
