Defensive Positions
The cannons bellowed With mouths spewing oblonged obscenities. Hurling bullets of blasphemies To strike down the offensive enemy. Smoke (whisps of words) plumed Across the sky of this hearthly invasion Dropping acidic toxins conceived for devastation, Caught up only in self-preservation. Hearts bleeding out, emotions unbridled Catering to weapons of destruction. Words meant as ammunition Fired with apprehensible intention. Striking behind lines once shared. Now sharing in a mortared rage. Broken is the union caught within this rampage, This onslaught continues uncaged. A victor, with shallowed finality, finds victory But no consolation, Only a fruitless condemnation And a white flag tainted with subjugation.
