War Hounds

Ashes in the wind blow away
As a war rips through today
No one's safe as cities burn
As their dark minds still churn

Turning homes into war grounds
As innocents hear the war hounds
Marching in straight lines
Spreading war throughout these times

Politicians sitting in liar's thrones
They think they're chasing bones
But they're only pawns in chess
They're just making the mess

Only one posseses true power
The secret master of the tower
He's to be seen as the savior
He's to be known as the cure

Ashes in the wind blow away
As a war rips through today
No one's safe as cities burn
As their dark minds still churn

Soldiers think they cleanse the land
But they're only quicksand
Helping politicians sink the lands
Without dirtying their hands

The soldiers won't stop marching
As they're fooled by lies of purging
They spread illness across the land
All as it was planned

Ashes in the wind blow away
As a war rips through today
No one's safe as cities burn
As their dark minds still churn

Hey!!! I like this one!!! Again reads like lyrics, strong and holds truth. I wrote some lyrics called MASS GENOCIDE. The first half of this piece reminded me of it. I'm in the process of putting music to all of my lyrics. It's a really long creative process but when it's all done, it will be so sick!!!

Thanx! I write while listening to music, I think that's why my writing tends to flow.... But dude, that's so awesome. I'd love to use my poetry for music!

Nicely done with dark overtones and political truth.

Rips not ripps.
