Noble Slaughter

War is a last resort

War is necessary to protect

An idealized world, to

Preserve  humanity while

Standing firm for beliefs

War destroys, ripping apart

People who obey command

Depreciated from human to

Target; red dots a death sentence

Destruction obliterates threats

Murders of families overlooked

For the sake of a civilized 

Beautiful Future

Humanity shrieks, unable to

Process horror so diverse

They shake, cringe, lash out

A constant mind of terror

Fathers, sons, husbands

Mothers, daughters, wives

Immersed in the reality of a 

Modern, civilized world

Where companies design

Weapons specifically 

Engineered to efficiently

Slaughter human life

Nine months are due to 

Create miraculous births

One bullet, one bomb, one action

To end a beating heart

Medals to those who suffer

As though a piece of metal

Equals the value of

Vulnerable, shattered souls

Who fought for humanity

Already lost with declaration
